Hm, there are so many stereotypes of sororities: sorority girls are s
luts...huge snobs...drug addicts...ditzy...fake...alcoholics...prissy girly girls...anorexic/bulimic...etc... But those stereotypes are also used a lot to label two other groups: young women and college students. So when you put a social group of young, college women together, it's pretty much inevitable.
As far as my chapter goes, I will admit that there are definitely some girls who fit the "sorority girl" stereotype (as far as being a little snobby or acting like ditzy, valley girls, or getting really drunk), then there are also girls who
partially fit it and girls who
don't fit any of it
whatsoever. But I love them all...well, except for the snobby ones.
Before I went through rush, I heard SO many stereotypes about all of the different sororities at my school and it was really hard for me to ignore them and give each group an equal chance. But for the most part, I was able to ignore them. Well, when bid day came around and I got to know my new sisters, I realized that the stereotypes some people had told me were so
wrong! And, as I got to know girls in other sororities, I realized that their stereotypes seemed to be wrong as well. Stereotypes are funny, people tend to accept them when they're positive and reject them when they're negative...despite them actually being true or not.
To be realistic, I think that there are many different types of girls in pretty much every sorority: smart, dumb, skinny, heavy, tall, short, classy, unclassy, pretty, ugly, mean, nice, poor, rich, etc... Some sororities may get labeled based on a group of girls that are seen in public the most/stand out the most...but when it comes down to it...it's all there.
