I'd say that since you are very small, and the other chapters are larger in comparison, market yourselves as very seriously dedicated to sisterhood, while acting like a traditional sorority in some ways (mixers, formals, being in greek week). Honestly if I were rushing at a school with locals I would prefer a national/international over the local because of the networking, resources, and infrastructure. But if a local presented themselves as a traditional sorority, just with a huge emphasis on a tight sisterhood, I would really take a second look. You could play up the fact that you are small BECAUSE sisterhood is so important...sometimes in larger chapters people get lost in the shuffle, and sisterhood doesn't always stretch as far as it should. With six members, you have a lot to offer as far as a close bond of carefully selected sisters. That's what I would play up...you can't compete with a chapter five times your size in flash and gimmicks, but you can compete with the tight sisterhood angle.
I didn't see the website, but I would definitely remove pictures with alcohol. Truthfully a lot of college freshman girls won't be interested in a dowdy or anti-social group, but you can look like you have a good time without advertising alcohol use. I remember when I went through that was a factor for me...I'm not up tight at all, I do go out and party, BUT I didn't want to be associated with a group that appeared to do nothing but party and drink. And freshmen women who don't have a lot of time to really get the feel for the groups on campus will believe what they're shown and what they're told.
