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.

For clarity's sake:
SWTX, the word is actually "jonin'." Not "joining."

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.

take for instance the pikes......everywhere i go, every one seems to have the same exact view point on pikes.....at least where i've traveled. i'm not to keen on the sororities.....but i bet between greeks, NPC, IFC, and other national predominantly white organizations have stereotypes about the type of people they have.
oh yea......
THREAD WAR!!!!!

What's a thread war?
And I'm maybe a little with you on stereotypes about Pikes, but the NPCs not so much. And of course the Howard Pikes may throw it off a little.
ETA: to kind of take it back to sort of the point, what membership could John McCain be offered that would be comparable to AKA for Mrs. Obama?

howard pikes are the exceptions. and take for instance kappa alpha order, the types of events (from what i've seen advertised on GC) seem to be pretty indicative on what they're about nationally. some organizations have them, some might not. but to say all of them have no national rep isn't always true.

Oh so the concept of national stereotypes resonates for the Pikes but not for NPC orgs? Convenient. He wasn't even detailed in the stereotype of the Pikes that he had heard. Maybe he was going to say they were stereotyped as wearing tutus and furry pink hats.
The Howard Pikes might not throw it off that much. But if they did, that's why they are STEREOTYPES. They aren't meant to apply 100%.

Okay, and I'll even go with SAE seeming similar to KA.
NPC?
ETA: I think a stereotype exists for PKA as athletes, perhaps a little eager for a fight.

my experience with NPC sororites is very limited to a couple cuties from undergrad. but if some fraternities have them, some sororities will to have them as well.

That would make sense, huh?
Or the NPC sororities were last in the stereotype line and the supply ran out.

Yeah, maybe, but I think the thing is that with NPCs it varies a lot from campus to campus and all groups sort of aspire to similar things. You might find that at every campus there are eight sorority stereotypes, but the NPC groups that embody each don't overlap that much beyond the campus or especially regional level.
I really do think that some of the issue is that there are so many NPCs and IFCs. Very few people are going to have even met more than one member of some groups.
But if there are only four or five groups nationally, the reputations for a particular group are going to overlap with what's thought about them on other campuses a lot more, if only as a function of the math. And if you have a well-known common history, the reputation may overlap and be more consistent even more that just math would predict.
ETA: Maybe we could think of nine NPC and IFC groups with national reputations, but when you get to ten, nobody can remember what it is that they are supposed to assume about the group. Heck, even Iota Phi Theta may seem a little fuzzy on my stereotype-meter.

Reason: well know to well-known and clarification on overlap
