Ok, you wanted some anecdotes to prove that greek stereotypes are false. you mentioned in a post that one stereotype is that all greeks are rich. ok, there are a few guys in my house who work at their financial aid jobs over 20 hours a week just to help their parents pay tuition. And on top of all that, these kids still find time to study and pull GPAs better than those who dont have a work study job.
You also mentioned in your post that all greeks are supposedly WASPs. Well, in my house, my pledge class of 22 had 5 jewish people and one Jehovah's Witness. This was adding to the 7 or 8 actives that are also Jewish. That number adds up to about 25% of our house.
About Greeks being stupid, a few of my pledge brothers are ranked 2, 4, and 7 in our engineering school, which is a huge feast to accomplish. The one who is ranked #2 also pulled a 4.0 during pledging.

Hope that helps
