Good point. Even I often settle for a very short and generally unfaltering explanation of my fraternity when I am put on the spot. I generally assume that the the other person only has a polite interest. So I spare them the details and say something dismissive like "The co-ed one" or "the weird one".
People largely don't know much about us so rumors fill the information vacuum. The best one I have heard is that we have a "Hall of Swords". I have never* had a negative reaction when someone learns what fraternity I am in, but a few of my brothers complain that they have.
* excluding reactions that are anti-greek in general
