Were you thinking of something different when you talk about "national stereotypes?" It doesn't require a consensus but it does require that a lot of people are aware of them. Many people are aware of the stereotypes of certain NPC and IFC orgs across campuses, which makes it "national," as far as I'm concerned.

The last paragraph. It's not the most detailed explanation but this author was hinting at something. Whoever this author is, he/she can't be the only one who sees that it's more than just campus rivalries or stereotypes in some instances.
So, you are offering Kappas are rich, brunette girls who lately are tending to be Jewish who have rivalries with Tri Delt for the hot girls? Okay then.
