We did quite a few things that have been already mentioned, but I'll add two more:
1) One sorority just couldn't get their numbers up (they had SIX!!), yet there was a move to bring a new sorority on campus. We got a letter writing campaign together and the colony was put off another term, while the small sorority had a recolonization. Both chapters are still on campus!
2) Since we were all in suites in the same dorm (except two), we would set up a "Study Break Bar". We had a coffee urn that was used just to heat water, lots of instant coffee, tea bags, and hot chocolate, and cookies or such. Then we put signs in the lobby & elevator to join us for a study break from 11pm>12midnight; women only, come as you are. That way, no one cared how anyone was dressed, and there were distinct hours - an alarm would sound for midnight. I don't think anyone does that now, and it's a shame - a lot of good Panhellenic unity came out of those study breaks. Well, except the one night when everyone was arrested, but that's another story...
