What is the stereotype of students at Chapman University? Is this stereotype accurate?

When i first heard about Chapman and where it was located, I formed some stereotypes. Orange County is known for its stuck-up, rich kids going to school on their parents' money and therefore not caring how they do. Of course there are a few of these at Chapman, but that is not the case for most. Most of the school is on scholarship, and we all need to work hard to keep our financial aid. Also, because Chapman is about 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Greek, we have gained the stereotype of being dumb sorority girls and crazy frat boys who only want to party. This is also not true. Our Greek life is shockingly and refreshingly different. Our chapters share a strong bond and have a higher GPA than Chapman's general student population. We are hard workers who love being involved and being leaders on campus. Greek life is an important part of Chapman's campus, but becoming Greek is not a necessity to have an amazing life at Chapman.

The stereotype at Chapman University is that everyone is very wealthy, that they have model-good looks and that they are only concerned with superficial imaging. Sure, this part of Chapman University exists (as it does any other school), but what some people fail to recognize is that Chapman is such a diverse school, attracting people from all of the world for all different sorts of majors. From the business school to the law school to the world-famous film school, students are diverse and with careful spontaneity, should be able to find friends without too much trouble.
