My chapter gets so much hate on greekrank and I think it's hurting our recruitment!!!

My chapter gets soooo much hate on greekrank. People consider the other 5 sororities to be great or at least okay, and then they separate my chapter out like it's worthless. People say that it's the chapter that no one wants to be a part of, that all the girls are weird, and that we give bids to anyone who wants one. Obviously none of those are true, but the majority of people outside our chapter seems to think so. We're the smallest on campus but we have so many fantastic, genuine girls and everyone says that we're ugly and weird on greekrank. I know not to listen to/believe what they say. I LOVE my sorority and don't think I would have fit in anywhere else. But there are multiple PNM posts that are asking for 'tiers' even though we don't have them at our smaller university. People are replying and saying horrible things about my chapter! We're the only chapter with enough spots to do informal in the fall and I feel like if girls see on greekrank that there is so much bad stuff about us, they aren't even going to give us a chance.

After our formal recruitment (which is in the spring), over 50% of the girls who went through recruitment said that they heard negative stuff about us before recruitment even started.

PLEASE help! I want my chapter to be able to grow and succeed like all the other chapters but we can't with this negative reputation and it's so frustrating. It's clearly hurting our recruitment each semester (i.e. we got 19 new members last spring and everyone else got 44). I want to be our new recruitment chair come spring so any advice would be appreciated.
