Make sure that you are doing programming that EVERYONE can enjoy. Mixers and homecoming floats are a blast when you're a freshman - but if you join your first year, by the time you get to be a senior sometimes it's a little old. (This is one of the reasons I am for deferred rush, but I digress)
The schedule should have time for the oldest members to get to know the newest, just among the sisterhood. Everything shouldn't be tied to fraternity socializing. If people commonly live in their soph and/or junior year and move out senior year, that can be another factor. If seniors want to stay in the house, encourage that - don't make them move out just because seniors don't traditionally live in the house. Plus make it a point to hold some events off site - not everything should focus around the house.
EVERYONE is a little burned out when they graduate, but if people are saying they don't feel like they are part of things anymore and they want to get out, that's a problem.
