Do tell? I'm unaware of them. How are Thetas different than Kappas?

They aren't different? That sucks for them.

To get into specifics is a waste of time. Suffice it to say that all of our organizations have things that they are best known for, including stereotypes of members. The stereotypes are intended to be true in many instances but not in every instance. Just like the "reputations" and stereotypes of NPHC orgs that have nothing to do with our history and programs.

And I think the number of organization in the NPC is too big and so rarely present on any one campus that national reputations based on anything other than Saturday Night Live skits are pretty hard to come by.

Rather than worrying about listing them all, how about you describe any national NPC reps?

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.

So, you are offering Kappas are rich, brunette girls who lately are tending to be Jewish who have rivalries with Tri Delt for the hot girls? Okay then.

I believe I'm not the author of that.

You wanted a discussion of the stereotypes and I remembered what I had always been told about Tri-Delts at various campuses. Then I found a link that addresses an author's take on the Kappas and the Tri-Delts on that campus. Then I directed you to the last paragraph where the author hinted at national stereotypes. Debate your opinion of the stereotypes and their national existences with the author. Or yourself. But remember that your opinion of the stereotypes themselves was never the point.

But the stereotype you referred to makes very little sense to anyone not on that campus. You found a link to a person asserting that there must be a national issue, but not actually evidence of one.

Anyway, it's my opinion that you have no idea what you are talking about with this. I wonder if you even know any Tri Deltas or Kappas in real life.

You've claimed that NPHCers think NPCers have national reputations. You can't provide any evidence of what they are, but apparently that's doesn't keep people from having them. Okay.
