2. A lot of girls have been complaining about the lack of sisterhood, so I really want to bring us back to being the type of organization that we expected when we went through recruitment.
3. Because sisterhood is so bad, when we have social functions only about half (or less) of our chapter goes and, frankly, it embarassing.

Welp, let's just say that your situation is not unique nor resigned to those who are still in college... LOL
You say you have some "team building exercises" for sisterhood. But how will anything related to business help that situation?
The reality is "commitment or value added" investment. If some of your membership does not see any benefit to their involvement, they hey, you are seeing the symptoms. You can even have them sign all the contracts you want, doesn't mean they will do it...
So, I am sure you have great benefits of membership and sisterliness. To make it happen collectively, then I would say, you need to learn how to do "strategic planning" efforts. Especially as it relates to recruiting (which is pretty much written in stone) and retention (which it seems like there is little standards revolving around that)...
There are cliques for a reason... Ending the cliques happens by knowing your documentation from your chapter, your school (Greek Life Office), advisors, and National HQ (assuming you are a NPC organization). There are ideas surrounding that concept...
