Is that just at big schools or no? We have 6 fraternities on campus, and one of them is just constantly ridiculed for being nerds, losers, etc. because a few years back they did have a lot of them. They've really turned around since then, but it hurts their Rush every year because at Greek presentations they get ridiculed and booed by the other fraternities, and they have a hard time finding guys to rush them because no one wants to be ridiculed.
They've been different for years, but they keep being held back because the other fraternities don't want to let that stereotype go (obviously because it protects them). How is a group like this supposed to overcome that.
