If a man uses the term, I don't see how anyone could believe he holds a high regard for women. Any women, greek or no.
It is like a racial slur in that it is deliberately demeaning - reducing women to sex objects. If I were to refer to a dark minority member as a "Sambo", he would be rightly offended, because I have reduced him to a stereotype. If indeed other women use it, it doesn't make it any better than minorities using racial slurs affectionately or as a joke. Some women will refer to others as c**** - I think that's wrong, too.
So the score - Offensive - 2
Not offensive, hey, it's joke - 1
eta - hey, how many of you fraternity men object to the term "frat" - a far less loaded term?
