I don't know about your fraternity house, but guys in our house do party a lot. It's not a sterotype, its the real thing. We are in college, no other time in our lifes will we be able to be this free and careless. College kids in general have this stereotype. I don't get mad when I hear these stereotypes because the majority of our members do binge drink. If you didn't like the stereotypes then you shouldn't have joined...

To tell you the truth, I don't like the stereotypes. That's why I didn't go greek until the opportunity arose to be part of a colony which is now the Mu Tau chapter of Sigma Nu.
I won't lie, we party a lot. Hell, your damned right about that! We have great parties.
But we don't exist solely for partying, it's not even very high on the agenda (and if it is, perhaps you should reevaluate your being a college student).
Those of us that join should join for the right reasons, higher ideals, the ideals our founders intended for our organization to represent.
Brotherhood, good character, unity, academics, life long-friendships -- that's why we go Greek.
If that's not why you went Greek then I hope you've seen the light since then. That's usually what your candidacy/new member/pledge period is for -- showing you the true meaning of your organization.
If you joined BECAUSE of the stereotypes I'd be willing to say that's when you shouldn't have joined.
If you try to live those stereotypes you are doing a disservice not only to your fraternity but to the greek system as a whole.
