Need help organizing my sorority

So it seems like it might at least be worth exploring whether service would be a sufficient interest, especially if not being recognized hinders their recruitment.

But the point is they shouldn't have to lie and say their interest is this or that when it's not, just to be recognized. They are a general social/service sorority.

No argument that they shouldn't have to lie. I took her earlier email to say that they do have an interest in service and expect new members to have an interest in service. I just figured that it's worth asking whether that is sufficient for recognition rather than assuming it isn't.

Gamma Delta,
Have you considered looking at some concrete ways to volunteer? In addition to coordinating service opps at least a semester in advance, as KSU said, you should also see who needs what. Maybe you all could adopt an elementary school in need. Or, start up an after-school tutoring program. Pick one or two ways to focus your service and stick with 'em. And no, you don't have to volunteer in schools.

Also, do Gamma Delta Pis wear their letters a lot? Maybe make themselves seen a bit more. Or even your official colors. Something to show your sorority's pride. Maybe take out an ad in the school paper- Gamma Delta Pi wishes everyone good luck on their finals.
