I'm confused -- is this a new house for your sorority, or is this a house where several of your sorority members live? If it's a new sorority house...try alums! I don't know how old your chapter is, or if you have much alum support, but if you do, see if they'll donate things or money for new things in your house, like furniture. It looks nice when sorority houses' living rooms and such are decorated in their colors.
If anyone in your house is particularly artsy, paint murals! My house has the crest painted on the wall in the basement, with all of our trophies on shelves around it, and then on the stairs we have a framed painting of our crest that someone in my chapter painted. It might be expensive to frame a painting, but it has to be be pretty cheap just to paint on the wall!
Oh, and my house also has the walls painted in the bathrooms, in themes -- we have a very pretty rose bathroom with little painted roses climbing up a trellis on the wall, and then we have a teddy bear bathroom (that one's actually a bit scary-looking...).
We have a few other artsy things floating around the house, like a framed cross-stitch of our letters. You could do that, or cross-stitch your mascot, make couch pillows out of it, etc.
If you have a banner or flag, hang that on the wall when you're not using it for other things. If you don't have one -- I made one for my chapter of my honor fraternity, Phi Sigma Pi. (The chapter is pretty poor and couldn't afford to buy the one from nationals.) Felt works nicely, and it's really easy to make!
