Oh, and I'm kinda over the "I'm not your typical sorority girl". No one ever is.

Also, go ahead and call me a meanie, and then get on with your story, because regardless of my opinion, I'm sure the recruitment thread whores are dying for one In the off-season, FanFic or not.
The only reason I think we see this a lot is because we're spoon-fed this Elle Woods/Spencer Grammer sorority girl "image" and that's what we come to view as "typical" for a sorority girl. Any girl who isn't blonde/perfectly dressed/perfectly made-up and coiffed/altogether perfect just isn't society's "typical" sorority girl. Obviously, Greeks themselves see that it's just a stereotype, but non-Greeks may just buy into the media too heavily.

That's my theory, FWIW.
