rich and preppy

Some of the stereotypes that surround CofC and the student body are that everyone is either rich and snobby, or a hippie/burn-out. The general consensus is that everyone parties 24/7 and no one goes to class. Many view sorority girls and fraternity guys as snobby and morally corrupt. There are too many girls and not enough guys, resulting in cocky, rude males.

There is a stereotype that we are almost too laid back. The stereotype is that all we do is hang out on the beach all day and party every night.

That because it's in the south, people are stupid and the education isn't as good as the northern school. Also, some people think that EVERYONE goes Greek, which isn't true. I'd say that there is a fair amount of people who do end up in a sorority or fraternity, but there's also a substantial amount of students that don't go Greek. Charleston is a very liberal city and people are so open-minded. Students are very laidback and relaxed, but also work hard and strive to do their best.
