2. we have no drama in our sorority...I have never witnessed a tiff between girls, not once and drama is a huge problem in our community, one of the sororities greek week t-shirts slogan was "don't worry we hate each other too!"
3. giving examples of how we are active in the community and philanthropy we have done and then giving examples of how girls have been there for me in the past...like the all night study session the business majors had with me to help me pass ECON 1000
I have found girls respond best when you share real life experiences with them

Campus tours can be great advertisement. IF your university would allow you to, you might be able to wear a button with your letters. Even if you can't, it's a great way to make an impression on incoming students and you'll be able to bring up student organizations in general and then talk about your organization.
A website is also a good idea, especially if you can get your school to add a link to it on their Greek Life or Student Life page. On your website you can list all of the activities members are involved in, what your chapter does for the community, etc. and you can present pictures to show you are about both sisterhood and serving. Fun and do-gooding!
As for the points....
1. I wouldn't phrase it like that. It can come across as sounding catty, even if that's not the intention. And you really can't say that's the case, for sure. Instead, you could talk about your sisterhood in general, and the things you do together, from social events to just hanging out.
2. Again, this can sound catty. Instead of making comparisons (or saying "we never have drama"...Murphy's Law, if you say that somehow it'll appear) talk about how your chapter is generally laid back with one another, and again give examples. Like how you help each other with homework, and cheer sisters on when they are participating in other activities on campus (like tennis in your case).
3. These are all good examples of things to say to potentials.
Try not to talk about other sororities at all. Just talk about how great yours is, and if other organizations come up, be gracious and say there are a bunch of great organizations on your campus...then gently turn the conversation back to your chapter. Don't be pushy, just be genuine.
