Also, think of it this way...people in other chapters and on campus are so insecure that they feel the need to comment on the weight and strength of a chapter that is not their own...is that something you would really want to be part of and waste your time on?

People talk shit on my chapter all the time because we are the smallest in members and in housing...but guess what? We are waaaaaaaaaay in the black, never been on probation for anything, have the highest GPA, almost won greek week (won lip sync, for the first time in our history!) and in general have a great time as sisters. My enjoyment of greek life comes from the crazy broads I have as sisters, and I have never ever been ashamed to wear my letters, on campus or off. And honestly, these girls cannot be *All* rotten apples. I think that the influence of other people may color judgement, to where you're only seeing the "bad" things that everyone else picks on. But think about the good things...Suzy is always there for a trip to the grocery story, Anne has great grades and is a great tutor, Amy will make a kick ass lawyer some day, etc. And the other stuff can change. Sometimes a positive outlook is all that is needed.
