Hugs for you, Sarah. People can be nasty. Just ignore it.
Is your biggest concern what people think of you, or is it that you want bigger numbers so your group can be more competitive? It seems to me that it's what people think -- and you can't change that. So just keep loving your sorority, being proud of your letters, and having fun with your sisters -- and eventually people will take notice.
Maybe you can work with your Greek advisor to plan all-sorority events. I know that at our school, the officers from each sorority have mini-retreats and dinners together to bond and share ideas -- i.e., the recruitment chairs from each group all have dinner at the DG house, the presidents from each sorority have dinner at the Theta house, the philanthropy chairs from each sorority have dinner at the Kappa house. They work on problems facing all sororities or the Greek system as a whole, and share ideas on how to make all our sororities better. You could also do all-Greek socials or try inviting another sorority to hang out with you guys sometime to do makeovers, have a scrapbook party, watch movies or do a self-defense workshop. Basically, anything that lets you get to know the girls in other sororities better will be a good thing, because they'll see how cool you guys are and how you have just as worthy of a sorority as they do.
