Get a hold of your alumni and ask for their help - whether it be participation in homecoming, alumni day, whatever. Ask them to write the college asking for more help from them going towards the Greek orgs.
Wear letters until you can't look at them anymore. Then wear them some more.
Submit articles to the campus paper showing all the positive and fun things Greek life does for you. Better yet, make sure there is a contingent of Greeks on the newspaper staff. If the staff is a very closed environment that you can't get into, buy their goodwill. Pool your resources among the 5 groups and have large ads (not just classifieds) in EVERY ISSUE to keep the presence of Greek life in the student body's face.
Shoot your Greek advisor. (No, I'm kidding.) Make sure each chapter has a faculty advisor and several alums who will "reason" with her and make her do her job.
I just checked out Loras's website and see that the locals were basically "forced" to go national. Is this still being met with resistance? If so, you may have to just hang in there until people who remember the locals have graduated. This is never an easy thing especially if the locals have been around a long time.
