I know what youre talking about. I know of a chapter that was considered "lame" on campus.
First off....peoples opinions dont matter, you need to be true to yourself, and your sisterhood (and honestly, there will be people who like your org, and people who hate your org...it will change, you need to wait and see what the actual respected people think!)
Secondly, if you feel like your org is having problems being fun, laid back, friendly, etc., this is not permanent. Stereotypes are not real, and how your org acts is not permanent. Every class that comes in can change the entire tone of the sorority!
The change has to start with you, be fun, peppy, wear letters out to games, the library, etc! Go to socials, have fun. Girls will get in on it, they will have fun too. Establish a culture of friendliness and fun, have more sisterhood bonding - hang out, go to movies, etc. Be visible. If you take on a bright sunny personality, when you go through recruitment, you can pick up girls like that too, and the next class can follow the same route.
What I am saying is, it starts with YOU, you make a bigger impact on your org than you realize. Try to imagine (whether this is true or not) for every active in your org, two more like that girl will come in next time around.
So BE that girl that you want your sorority to be! You'll start to multiply.
