Do first semester freshmen rush at your school (fraternities and/or sororities)? I'm guessing the party ban is to keep the freshmen from being unduly influenced to join a fraternity just because they partied there. It makes sense. And even if there wasn't a ban, many times NPC women and rushees aren't allowed to go to parties during rush week.
If you're the only local at the school people are going to wonder "what's up with that?" Make sure people know your history and your ties to the school.
As far as the lack of school spirit and participation...all I can say is if all the school looks at when admitting students is their checkbooks, it's going to happen. The only thing I can advise is for all the fraternities to work together - if there's a lot of competitiveness and backbiting no one is going to want to be a part of that. If the school's intramural leagues suck, create a fraternity one - if the school balks at that, explain why you're doing it. Just sitting by & saying "this school sucks" isn't going to change anything,
