Keep doing the right things and be patient. The pace of culture change is glacial. What I noticed in my fraternity and later in my companies is that culture change doesn't happen by changing people's minds. It happens by changing the people entirely.
I call this process "scrabbling", like in Scrabble when you have lousy letters and can't make a word, so you lose a turn, dump your letters, and get 7 new ones.
Look on the bright side, in college the scrabbling process only takes 4 years. In a corporation it can take much much longer.
Hang in there. I frankly wouldn't worry too much about "horning in" - in fact I'd encourage it, to show that you're there to stay. Just stick to the high road and focus on recruiting the best people.
