I dunno, i've never actually been around someone that would actually make some kind of issue out of it. Congratulations.

You seem to be having a really hard time understanding that there are people in this thread who disagree with you are FROM THE SOUTH. Sheesh. It's really not that hard to grasp. I will lay it out for you:

I am from the South. Lived here forever. I went to undergrad at a large conservative PWI Southern university. I have close friends in NPHC, IFC, and NPC sororities and fraternities. I have NEVER heard anyone, jokingly or seriously, use the word "sorostitute" IRL. I find the word offensive and it amazes me that it is a term that people would use regularly, especially sorority women.

He was talking about using "guys."

I initially thought he was talking about "sorostitute" too because, although he quoted me, his post seemed to apply "across the board."

I don't know what IRL means.

Thanks. Sorry you've never heard the term.

IRL = in real life.

Sorostitute is more offensive, in my opinion, than "frat boy".

Yet the troops didn't swarm in on this one like they do whenever someone types "frat" or "frat boy" on here.

That's called "consider the source."

A lot of the people on here who use "frat" simply don't know any better - they are new to Greek life - and when they're told it's offensive they stop using it. It's more looking out for them and trying to prevent them from sounding stupid.

In this instance though, that horse is WAY out of the barn.

Maybe.

I go to a Southern School with a major greek presence and I have never heard any man or woman on campus refer to a sorority woman in such a rude manner.

Calling someone a sorostitute is basically calling them a slut. Using the term "frat boy" doesn't have any obvious meanings like that. I mean, how would you feel if someone called you a "frapist"?

Yes I just made that up

If I wanted to call someone a slut, I would call them a slut.

I dunno...I hear this (sorostitute) all the time down here, at UGA, LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, etc. etc. etc. No one takes offense to it...or even has the notion that we are effectively calling them sluts/whores/etc. Its a joke....much like calling a fraterntiy member a frat boy/fratdaddy/etc.

I'm sorry it offends all of you soooooooooo much. Maybe you all should lighten up.

Look here, lady: I don't think anyone is typing from the ledge of a building.

Some of us just don't find the "joke" funny or remotely cute.
