Yeah, maybe, but I think the thing is that with NPCs it varies a lot from campus to campus and all groups sort of aspire to similar things. You might find that at every campus there are eight sorority stereotypes, but the NPC groups that embody each don't overlap that much beyond the campus or especially regional level.
I really do think that some of the issue is that there are so many NPCs and IFCs. Very few people are going to have even met more than one member of some groups.
But if there are only four or five groups nationally, the reputations for a particular group are going to overlap with what's thought about them on other campuses a lot more, if only as a function of the math. And if you have a well-known common history, the reputation may overlap and be more consistent even more that just math would predict.
ETA: Maybe we could think of nine NPC and IFC groups with national reputations, but when you get to ten, nobody can remember what it is that they are supposed to assume about the group. Heck, even Iota Phi Theta may seem a little fuzzy on my stereotype-meter.
