I would bail. These girls obviously do not show you any respect, so why should you help them out? I understand that you want to help them, but you can't help people who won't help themselves first. They have to want to work for their organization. If they don't, it will eventually fall apart and you will feel even more badly. Personally, from the sound of things, I wouldn't want these girls in my organization. And nationals won't give a charter to girls who don't deserve it. You have to show Nationals that you are honest, hard working, and want to make an impact on the community before they will charter a new chapter.
However, If you really want ideas, I would do some research into the national and inernational sororities and find ideas on philanthropies that the girls would be interested. For instance, my sororities national philanthropy is to aid the hearing impaired. I joined Delta Zeta because I happen to believe strongly in that endevor. And I didn't believe after I joined, I believed before. It was almost the whole reason! Research about the philanthropies and try to come up with interesting ways to get them into it. We had an instructor come in a teach us sign language. It was fun and educational at the same time. We then were able to make an impact on out community by going out and visiting nursing homes and hospitals and children who couldn't hear. We even have a chapter of Delta Zeta at Galludet University in Washington DC. It is a university for the hearing impaired. I ould just suggest trying to find something noble that the girls would find interesting or fun. It just might put a fire under their butts.
