I mean you APhiAnna and Breathesgelatin, who had to do my reading for me.
Yeah, I'll go with agree to disagree with APhiAnna about national images and reputations. Stereotype, I suppose is arguable since it wouldn't actually have to be based on any real similarity at all, but in may be a question of how many perceptions count to make a national reputation, image or stereotype.

Just to clarify I'm only arguing stereotypes. National image is taken into account by the population as a whole, as well as people who are familiar with GLOs. In both cases GLOs will have a varied image because of chapter variations. I think this is the accurate point of view. Stereotypes, in my opinion, are 95% fostered by collegiate Greeks simply because nobody else really cares who is old money, who is fat, who is slutty, etc. And, as I've argued, amongst collegiate Greeks I think there are a couple stereotypes that have jumped state lines and stuck to certain GLOs regardless of if the chapter meets the criteria for the stereotype or not. But I understand that many people apparently do not feel this way...I guess it's just differing of opinion.
