My chapter uses the term "frat" quite frequently.

Example:

1. "Hey, you wanna go over to the frat and watch the game?"
2. "Me and the fratties are going to get a burger, wanna come with?"

Now, when discussing the fraternity with your mother or father, or a colleague:

1. "My fraternity was founded in 1839"
2. "Yes, I was (and still am) in a fraternity in college. How 'bout you?"

I do get disturbed when a non-greek attacks the system, and uses terms such as "frat house", "frat guy" or "in a frat".

Its kinda like the word "cracker". If you ain't one, don't be using the word.
