I think it's hard to break stereotypes because whenever a girl goes through rush she knows which girls she wants to be associated with and which house she will get a bid from and which house she will not get a bid from. When I rushed I knew which 3 houses I wanted and if I didn't get any of them....well then I didn't want to have letters at all.
Also, a lot of times with rush (at least at my school) we know what girls will pref us and for the most part they usually match with what we look for. And as long as that cycle continues.....so do the stereotypes.

DGQueen, so true. My friend rushed this year and she ended up preffing my sorority and another one, but I could've told you from the beginning she would wind up at the other one. She fits in so much it's almost scary!
Of course, there are the girls that I see sometimes and I'm like, "she's an ABC?!" While looks being the predominant stereotype, personality can get you past the stereotype every now and then. We took a girl this year who is not like gorgeous but she's still really cute, and she's honestly like the nicest most genuine girl ever.
Greek stereotypes seem pretty hard to break here at WVU. I think sometimes for the frats though, I can be totally caught off guard.
