Most women in this fraternity prefer "brother" over "frat". They look at the term "frat" as a slang for male member. The way all members in Alpha Phi Omega, should be looked at the same. You see, some of the male brothers can not see themselves dating a brother. So they rather not see you as one. Other don't care either way. I believe their are no reasons not to call you my frat, my brother, or my favorite FemaleAPO. There is no such thing as a bruhror, fratsister, or an APOsister(unless you became a member in the philippines). And most of the male members on black campuses and some on other campuses already refer to Gamma Sigma Sigma as sisters (although they're unofficially recognized).

It's funny you say all of this. I am a brother. I am called brother or frat all the time. I don't have a problem with this. I will call one of my female apo brothers frat in a minute, and don't think much of it. I detest someone attempting to call me a sister. Someone even asked if I was a bruhor once...I was like hhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeccccccccccck naw. I know a lot of the guys who have a problem with calling me brother are not b/c they want to date me *even though I am Attractive
* it goes back to the all male thing. You might not feel this way, and that's cool. I have never had a personal conversation with you, so I can not say how you feel; but I can say from personal conversations with other brothers that's the idea I get from a lot of them. About the GSS thing, I hear that they are their soror's not their sisters.
