At the particular campus I go to, it's mid-sized (approx. 7K), but we've only got three fraternities and two sororities (plus one service sorority). One of the groups we had here on campus officially dissolved this spring due to years of poor management and a lot of the social scene is dominated by the Campus Activities Board.
My own fraternity is the strongest and most populous of the fraternities at approx. 20some members, and my pledge brothers and I are determined to bring more guys in next semester and raise membership.
What are some ideas you guys have for this? We'd love to be able to increase not only our chapter, but the Greek life as a whole, to make it a stronger and more powerful force on campus.

First off, your chapter needs to redesign their website, or at least keep it updated. You have information from 2001 on the home page.
Honestly, I'm not trying to sound negative, but a lot of the smaller UW schools just aren't going to have big chapters. My chapter has been up to 60 members at a time, some of the fraternities have been up to 90, but eventually the guys will top out around 50 and the girls around 35. There are only so many qualified people who truly want to be members to go around.
I'd work on strengthening your own chapter from within before I take on anything campus-wide.
