Contact the local health inspector (county, not university!). Holes in the ceiling that lead to the outside does sound like something they would have to evacuate the area for until it is repaired, and since it is a school dorm, the school will have to provide you with accomodations at a nearby hotel or unoccupied dorm.
Your parents should also call the school and raise a huge fuss. You can write letters and call your sorority nationals to complain. Make sure you date and document everything.
And if you want to, contact local media (radio, tv, newspapers, both local community and the school paper) to raise awareness of the school's negligence in your safety and health. Do be aware that this may get you in trouble with your sorority if there is a ban on talking to the media, or it could portray your nationals in a negative light.
Then again, consider the larger issue-- you are being housed in unsafe conditions and you and the other residents need to consider that your safety and health are more important-- so if a newspaper story drives people to finally fix the problem, it is more than a worthy trade-off.
Good luck.
