NIC orgs are a different barrel of fish and I agree with those who have said that there are some more significant national stereotypes there--*FOR SOME NIC ORGS*. Not all. I also agree that KA, Pike, SAE, and TKE would be good examples of ones that have a stereotype nationally among Greeks.
I VERY much disagree that Kappa, ZTA, and Tri-Delt have national stereotypes among Greeks. I've already spoken to the exceptional case of Tri-Delta in the national mindset (not the Greek mindset). I agree that all of these orgs are considered as somewhat "more prestigious" than some others, for better or worse, right or wrong. But I don't see, again, what distinguishes Kappa from Theta. Tri-Delt from ZTA.
If you're willing to share what you think these stereotypes that would be helpful because frankly I think you're wrong.

Yep, I think they vary and overlap with each other too much from campus to campus to have much significance, and too few people know their real histories and interests to have an accurate sense of what they are about.
But someone comparably familiar with NPHC sororities would have some idea what AKA was "supposed to be like" or was "supposed to be about."
I mean "supposed" more in its sense of imagined or put forth theoretically rather than "intended."
Which is why it's both more significant that Michelle Obama is accepting a membership and why it's somewhat harder to joke around about NPC groups reputations.
