When I first met members of certain groups, the stereotypes first rang true to me. However, I think that is because I was looking for them to be confirmed because I had already heard the stereotypes. What I found when I got to know members of each group better (after pledging) was that the stereotypes ring false about as often as they ring true.
Also, just because you pledge a group with a certain image, it doesn't mean that a lot can't change in four years. Once you join, it is up to you and others in the group to determine if you'll be a part of that stereotype continuing or not.
