I don't know how much you will like this advice, but it worked for us... My chapter was known as the ugly fat girls. Everyone always said we were nice, but we were fat and ugly and people didn't want to have socials with us. Granted, many of our alum are larger women, our current chapter has very beautiful girls in it. I'm the president and was talking to one of the frats about having a social with us. He was kind of giving me the run around and I could tell that he wasn't overly excited. So I just looked at him and was like, "haven't you heard about us? We really know how to party! Our socials are guaranteed to have the best food around" and he started laughing and lightened up and we made plans for the social. The day after the social, I heard soooo much talk about us, from other people. Supposedly, the fraternity was so impressed with our chapter because we're hot, we don't have attitudes, and we all have great senses of humor! They've already requested another next semester! I think the key to improving your reputation is being aware and able to joke about your current one. If you get upset everytime someone says something, its not going to fix anything. But if you can joke about it, people will respect that. Also, I completely agree with having original ideas. That will make them remember and respect you even more!
