When I was in a fraternity I always refered to it as a fraternity. However I met a few pikes who call it a frat just in common usage, and I have met a Phi Psi who called his house a frat...so I guess it depends who you're talking too. I've heard "You wouldn't call your country a cunt so don't call my fraternity a frat", than again I've talked to some people who say it doesn't matter and liken it to calling a refrigerator a fridge.
