I'm not a guy, but I saw this episode and I didn't really think the way she described Brad was inaccurate. First of all I didn't see him wearing letters during the episode so maybe she was just making a judgement on his looks. Now maybe that's a bit offensive just basing his "frat boyness" on his outward appearance - but we all know what kind of guy she is describing: muscular, cute, outgoing...perhaps a "party kid". And this describes my first impression of Brad as well. And she did say 'typical frat boy type' which doesn't really imply that she thinks all fraternity guys are like this...just what I got from the episode.

I can understand being offended, but if I heard some GDI say they met some typical sorority girl, I would have a pretty clear idea of what the girl was like: pretty, blonde, thin, tan, kind of ditsy...probably wearing some sort of Tiffany's jewelry. Of course I don't really consider myself a "typical" sorority girl, but I know they exist and it might be some people's only experience with GLO members. So i don't think I would be that offended...unless the person met a GLO member and refused to see past their stereotypical view of them.
