it's got to be disheartening to hear cruel, ill-informed comments about your chapter, especially when you have vowed not to reveal your indentity and can not set the record straight.

i do not recall hearing anything negative said about any chapter from anyone in my rush group, either when i was a pnm or 3 years later when i was a recruitment counselor. maybe we were a little more savvy back then, and the girls knew that any negative comments they said might hurt their rho gammas feelings, since she might be a member.

the only thing off the top of my head that i can come up with would be for the panhellenic officers, during the first informational meeting with pnms, to stress that the pnms keep their opinions to themselves, because negative comments could impact their recruitment success and might hurt the feelings of their rho gamma or fellow pnm.
the best thing for a rho gamma hearing negative comments about her chapter to do, is probably just what you did-carry on as if you did not hear and just show your sorority's values in your actions. often times peoples attitudes change after they get to know someone better.
