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.
Actually, this post makes it sound like instead of arguing for national stereotypes you are actually stating that there are some regional, collegiate stereotypes. I would be far more likely to accept the idea of some isolated regional stereotypes than overall national ones in terms of NPCs.
