Big philanthropy events are great for getting to know people in other orgs and for creating a presence on campus. Playground clean ups are always great and you sometimes you can "adopt" a local playground and run activities for the kids on an on-going basis.
I don't know your area at all but what about a Greek Garden? If there's a plot of unused land somewhere; i.e. a former parking lot, you can raise funds in the fall and then do a clean up/ planting in the spring.
How about Christmas/Holiday follies? We used to do this with with our Sigma Chis; we would put together a Christmas Program and then perform at a few local nursing homes.
As for Greek Week activities you could actually do a boys vs. girls competition which is actually lots of fun.
You can also start with something low-key but fun like an ice cream social or pizza night with your Alpha Phis.
Hope this is helpful!
