How can I phrase this.... I think that getting rid of a ranking mentality, and not putting down other houses/chapters, might help boost morale. If you boost morale, it will be evident on the faces and in the way that your actives present themselves.

Start working on the brothers who are already there. If you do the work from within, from increasing the bonds among the fraternity members to raising your gpa, people will notice that. People will want to be a part of that.

And for what it's worth structure does not necessarily a strong fraternity make. It has its obvious advantages, but there are a myriad of things that you can do to increase your fraternity's reputation. If you make something an issue, then others will see it as an issue as well.
