Sisterly advice needed

[twinstarsweetie]

I have a very unusual story. I am returning to a chapter after taking a year off and it has come to my attention that some of the sisters greatly dislike me, through no fault of my own. There is a long-winded story but what it boils down to is jealousy; at one point my now-boyfriend made a pass at one of the sister (we weren't dating at the time) and since this sister and her friends don't like me because I am actually with him now, and we are very very serious. I LOVE theta, I have since I was a new member and it means so much to me; on the other hand I am not sure I can take the constant rumor mongering and snide comments that I have been receiving in the last couple of weeks. I don't even know these girls, they were initiated when I was gone; I don't think taking a gap year should mean that I give up my place in a sisterhood that fosters so much good. Up until this point I have tried to take the high road and ignore their comments and actions, blatant as they are, but I don't know how long I can keep that up. It's very emotionally taxing.

Any thoughts? Should I keep my status as a non-active sister? Should I confront them outright and ask for a standards meeting? Should I continue ignoring them? It seems such a shame to let the actions of a few taint how I feel about this society. I would really appreciate any words of wisdom here, I'm truly at a loss.
