What Greek sterotype REALLY makes you mad?

[JohnnyCash]

If there were a Greek stereotype that was completely false and baseless, it would make me angry.

Unfortunately all stereotypes have a beginning and there are Greeks that feed all kinds of stereotypes.

We don't wear letters much, but I have and when I do I had people automatically assume we party and get shit faced. What they don't know is we're a fraternity with both men and women. We're not a social greek letter organization.

To me, this sounds like you're making an implication that SOCIAL Greek organizations party and get wasted all the time. A Greek member, making a stereotypical statement about social Greeks, in a thread about the worst Greek stereotypes. How ironic

It's not me making the assumption. I was saying that people assume that all greek letter organizations are the same. I just said that because we're not social. I really don't give a shit what it sounds like to you.

Whoa, calm down.

But you basically said... "People assume all we do is party and drink, but they don't understand that we're not a social greek organization." If that's not what you intended to make it sound like, fine. But that's definitely how it came across to me.

It just sucks because usually there's only a small grain of truth to those lies.
