No.
As a matter of fact, My unversity has banned all things like Greek Life, etc.
Funnily enough, this year the student body voted 76% to keep the rules the way they are, up 8% from last year. Something I am very grateful for.

Correction: was in a movie that established those stereotypes.Panken said:
Seriously though, it's called humor. Look it up.

edit: How are the suvlakis?
I think you mean "are based on a grain of truth." To say "all stereotypes were true at some point" means that at one point all [insert ethnic group here] were [insert non-flattering trait here]. Logically, that doesn't fly.sallene said:
Its correct if you take it to mean that at some point in history there existed a group of people who acted in the manner of said stereotype, thus leading to said stereotype for that entire group of people.ThrobbingEgo said:
also, are you stalking me, and if so,
stop it I dont swing that way.
My university doesn't have any Greek life, and it's university policy that none can be established. There was a referendum last year over whether or not the student society should continue to support that position, and I think students voted it down. Either way, there's no Greek life at my uni and it doesn't look like there will be anytime soon. It also doesn't look like anybody gives a flying fuck at all, since there are a couple of clubs that are big enough to be pretty much equivalent.
1) That's not always going to be correct, because it's not always going to be completely true. A large contributor to stereotypes, I'd imagine, would be xenophobia. A fear of the outgroups you don't belong to.sallene said:
As an example: I don't believe there's ever been a time where all Jews were crafty and morally unscrupulous. Many worked as business owners and money lenders, and that's what the stereotype's based on, but it doesn't mean that the stereotype itself has ever been true.
2) I'm not stalking you. I just respond to posts that attract my attention. If I disagree with something you said, chances are, we'll happen to disagree about other stuff too. I'm not trying to single you out, dude. I rarely pay attention to usernames in posts I'm commenting on.
In Scotland so no Greek Life here as far as I'm aware. I think its quite a good concept, though all I have to go on is Animal House(I kid), but on further reading it does look like it has its advantages
Don't want to be in a frat, and funny enough the first frat party I was invited to was a toga party. In all honesty, to me a Frat/Sorority is a place where you buy friends.
