Bottom Line here is that no organization, much les chapter, is perfect. You get out of anything what you put into it. You sound like you are willing to make the effort to do what you can to make you chapter a better place to be. And by your example of getting involved and staying motivated, others will follow your lead. Sometimes it takes joining an organization to realize your potential. Maybe you are in this sorority for the reason of uplifting other chapter members, motivating them to put their all into it too. I'm sure you aren't the only one that feels this way, so ban together and do something about it! When I was in high school I heard a statement that has inspired and motivated me for years. It is, "If you aren't part of the solution, then you must be part of the problem." I realize that if I can complain about something, then I must be able to make it better.
I agree---pour your energy into a new member, or get to know someone you wish you knew better, and I bet your big will notice. Just realize that organizations usually have cycles of good/bad or motivated/not motivated times. It will get better. Good Luck!!!!
