D9 stereotyping..

Hi Sorors and Sistergreeks!

I hear what everyone is saying but I think it depends on where you are. I'm in Philly and in the Northeast (which includes chapters in PA., New Jersey, New York, Delaware, etc.) we rarely hear negative stereotypes about ourselves although I have heard some about sorors in other areas and when I do hear something, I shut the person down real quick because I don't let anyone talk bad about my sorority...I don't care where you're from. As for being small, we may be smaller than the other 3 but we're definately not small by any means. Up here anyway, we are on every campus where there are NPHC orgs and some where we are the only one there (and PA. alone has a whole lot of colleges and universities, probably more than any other state).

I think the stereotyping goes on because non-greeks and greeks alike only go by what they see on their campus or in one geographical area, but I think that's really messed up to label an entire organization (which spans throughout the U.S. and beyond) based on what you've personally seen or heard. Then you have those non-greeks who haven't even met any SGRho's, passing along rumors they personally know nothing about.
