Going into detail about what these stereotypes are isn't worth it (particularly because there is a negative connotation to most of them), but I think most people that are familiar with strong Greek campuses will catch my drift on those.

I don't catch your drift at all and I think you're wrong about the NPC orgs.
NIC orgs are a different barrel of fish and I agree with those who have said that there are some more significant national stereotypes there--*FOR SOME NIC ORGS*. Not all. I also agree that KA, Pike, SAE, and TKE would be good examples of ones that have a stereotype nationally among Greeks.
I VERY much disagree that Kappa, ZTA, and Tri-Delt have national stereotypes among Greeks. I've already spoken to the exceptional case of Tri-Delta in the national mindset (not the Greek mindset). I agree that all of these orgs are considered as somewhat "more prestigious" than some others, for better or worse, right or wrong. But I don't see, again, what distinguishes Kappa from Theta. Tri-Delt from ZTA.
If you're willing to share what you think these stereotypes that would be helpful because frankly I think you're wrong.
