The same can be said about any stereotype. You know those who fit the stereotype (stereotypes come from somewhere--but I really think that SNL skit was based on a general "sorority girl" stereotype and Delta Delta Delta was used because it rhymed) but given a real familiarity with the group, you know that the stereotype doesn't always fit unless there are formal or informal guidelines to uphold it.
Thanks for your interesting input in the rest of your post, too!
