There is another chapter without a house, but they are older/more successful/larger so they tend to get most of the guys in the dorms that are your prime targets simply b/c this other chapter has guys everywhere.

Having high profile/visibility can help to change this. And you don't need a great number of men to do so.
Have members serve as officers on IFC, join Greek councils and work/serve on Homecoming committees etc. Have members join a wide variety of campus organizations and clubs. Have members serve as dorm RAs and on dorm councils. If sororities have houses, ask one if you could use their house for functions and meetings. Make a big deal/production about how they helped your chapter. Serenade the chapter after your meeting or give flowers to each member or to the whole chapter. Volunteer to help them with their philanthropy events. Offer to make them a homecooked meal. Then do the same with each other sorority. Having sororities talk about your chapter in a positive light is always a good thing.
And wear your letters as often as possible.
