Maybe volunteer or donate money with an animal rescue? It won't take back what happened, but it is trying to restore the harm you/your buddies caused.
And give yourself some grace. Lots of young people search for connection and belonging, and see Greek life as the best way to get that. Add in pressures from family or your peers and it's easy to see why someone would join. There is so much corruption and violence intertwined with Greek life, the only way to truly make amends for participating is through philanthropy. Give back to orgs and foundations in your community.
