One of the biggest stereotypes about OU is that it is a very Greek university, and that much of the student lifestyle on campus is centered around being involved in a fraternity or sorority. Many of the students then, are seen by some as fitting the stereotypical fraternity or sorority image, which involves being stuck up, rich, etc.

much of thee greek system is composed of students from very wealthy families. there are a lot of students who drive too nice of cars. the really good football players don't actually have to take their tests.

Hicks and rednecks

That OU is very conservative

That the campus is in the middle of nowhere, most of the students are country folk, there is nothing to do in Norman.

That we all love football, that we drink a lot, that we hate Texas, that we live in a backasswords state.

I'm not sure how other people stereotype OU and its students but I always thought it was somewhere that people from the middle of the country and a few from the coasts would go to. I didn't think that many people outside the country knew about it, or even considered it.

We hate all other schools in our conference especially UT and OSU and we think we are the best at everything.

That they are mostly farmers and baptists.

Some stereotypes about OU might include that students care more about football than academic activities and that everyone is in a Greek organization. Also, people tend to lump OU with Oklahoma, and they see Oklahoma as a middle of nowhere Wild West type of place or a place in which only Native Americans live. Essentially, it's like the musical "Oklahoma."
