I feel the same way, and I'm just in my early 20s.
It hurts, to be sure, to hear someone speaking poorly of your chapter, but it's been my experience that it's best to stay out of the drama. My alma mater was pretty cool towards Greek life--not anti-Greek, but not exactly the most welcoming campus. Fairly often, the online forums and newspaper opinion columns were terribly biting towards Greek groups, especially NPC sororities. I chalked it up to their ignorance and let it roll off my back.

We can't let others' negativity influence what we do or tell other people. What if I had listened to all those women who told me not to go to the college I did ('cause they were all liberal and I'd join a cult) or not to join the chapter I did because they were "all whores"? We have to keep open minds and make the best decisions for ourselves. This wasn't intended as a personal jab, simply an illustration of the depths that subscribing to others' negative energy can sink us into.
