But I partially blame our marketing/communications department. We've sat back for too long, allowing such stereotypes to exist.
Stereotypes are what a lot of people go off of though. In the example I used of Ole Miss, stereotypes are what bring a lot of the hot women we have. Couldn't stereotypes in turn drive women away from A&M?

Absolutely, and I think it does to some extent. The stereotypes seem much more real to people who aren't familiar with the state of Texas in general though. Most kids in high school nowadays who grow up in Texas have their own personal experiences to go off of instead of just stereotypes.

Wait, people attend college based off of stereotypes?
To answer your question, kids in Texas know what A&M has to offer. Seriously, think about it.... if A&M sucked so bad, would we be 52K in enrollment? Wouldn't Tech, UH, Baylor, etc. be much larger?
Usually once you sift through the stereotypes and use common sense, you figure out what is truth.
There's a widely held stereotype that the South is dominated by ignorant, poor undeducated people and with my experience in the Oil/Gas Industry, I must say that the most practical people reside in the South. The Intellectuals that come down here usually get chewed up and spit out.

Couldn't agree more. Again, it's why I place a huge portion of the blame on those folks whom we pay to market our fine university.
I will tell you this: The silly (mostly out-of-state) stereotypes don't deter tens of thousands of young men and women from attending Texas A&M annually (we're one of the nation's top 10 largest universities). So ... no, silly "farmers" stuff doesn't "drive women away from A&M." Again, we've failed in that we've allowed UTex (and others) to shape a false public image about Texas A&M University. Hopefully the powers that be at TAMU will get their shite together (and re-think the embarrassing videos).

There are hot women at Ole Miss but your blowing it way out of proportion, y'all also got ugly's as well. Sorority girls are pretty much near the best at Ole Miss outside of Theta and AOII, ill give you that.
