--all fat/darkskinned/ugly: not only is this ridiculously false, it shows how much folks don't get out. And (not that this makes the stereotype any better), why isn't this pushed on other orgs? Greeks are a microcosm of people in general, so there's just as many AKA/DST/ZPhiB ugmugs floatin around.

--bookworms/all 4.0's: while that's an awesome thing if we all did, do you really think every sgrho gets straight A's? Were no idiots but we do hold scholastic achievement high, even if that means an occasional B or C.

--we pledge long/hard: see, is this supposed to make us appear "harder" therefore more respected? Or is this a detriment, because this makes us manly? Either way, its so unproductive to our image.

--were so secretive: umm its called discretion. Can't help that we got this. the fact that you don't know what is up means were on our biz and you're not minding yours.

A certain interested someone came to my chapter talking about that stereotype. She put the best spin on that that stereotype that I was like "I like you"

A Kappa boyfriend of hers said that we are highly intelligent. That was our only stereotype. It didn't hurt my feelings at all.

Cause when did being smart become a bad thing?
