NPHC, NPC, and IFCers say it "depends on campus" or "depends on the region" for our organizations' stereotypes and it does to a great extent. But the truth of the matter is that if people are more familiar with the "pretty girl" Tri-Delt chapters and hear their friends talk about the "pretty girl" Tri-Delt chapters at their schools, those who don't fit that stereotype will be considered the exception that defy the rule but not that overturn the rule.
Were you thinking of something different when you talk about "national stereotypes?" It doesn't require a consensus but it does require that a lot of people are aware of them. Many people are aware of the stereotypes of certain NPC and IFC orgs across campuses, which makes it "national," as far as I'm concerned.

The last paragraph. It's not the most detailed explanation but this author was hinting at something. Whoever this author is, he/she can't be the only one who sees that it's more than just campus rivalries or stereotypes in some instances.
