I've heard many similar comments from D9 greeks, both male and female, about me and other greeks who don't fit their skewed idea of what members of certain orgs are supposed to look like.

It's sad, but I agree. Do you think some of the stereotypes are perpetuated by some of the chants that D9 orgs do that kind of put down the other D9 orgs? Or maybe the step shows where some frats clown others?
