The best thing I can say is to make sure that when you have a mixer or party with another house make sure that all your girls show up. When I think back to last year during our froshes, the houses we ended up liking most were the ones that had a lot of girls show up and that weren't shy (usually with a lot sisters there the girls became less shy)...there is strength in numbers.
Also other ideas, throw a party that hasn't been done before on your campus, something that any house would want to do and then invite the house of your choosing. Often times the theme of a party can go a long way in determining the amount of fun people have...graffiti parties, or a foam party, or something else just totally out there might do the trick. Just whatever you do, try to make it so that the numbers of guys to girls is equal or that there are more girls than guys b/c no guy likes a sausage fest (as much fun as that might be for you and your sisters).
Also, I don't know what your campus is like, but here every house has a formal dinner on Monday night and then chapter meeting. Do a dinner exchange with another house - some of your girls go to their house and some of them come to yours. It's a different type of atmosphere and you get to see everybody dressed up. Again this depends on your campus and how the houses are set up and all.
