A lot of schools it seems don't want Greeks helping with move-ins anymore. It's that way with Housing on my campus. Fortunately, they are really the only office that actively discourages Greek participation. I'm in charge of Orientation on my campus (as well as being the Greek Advisor) and I actively recruit Greeks to help out with our Freshman Orientation (which happens the weekend before classes start). Also our Alpha Kappa Lambda chapter is planning a big "Welcome Back Concert" with 4-5 local bands for the Saturday night before classes start. In my office (Student Activities) we are actively promoting the concert to students. Also our Greek Council is holding a big, campus-wide carnival in September, so that should give our system lots of good exposure.
I think offering some type of fun activity that will appeal to a lot of new students is a good way to go.
