I know some GDI's love to be called GDI's and some don't for the 'god damn' implication. I use the term 'frat' when speaking to my brothers, however when I speak to outsiders, especially those who don't seem to 'get' the Greek system, I say fraternity just to leave the 'frat' connotation out of the mix. At my chapter, I was kind of a nazi about this. If I saw a member calling us a 'frat' to a pledge, I would step in and explain how we were not a 'frat.' Of course, some fraternities are a 'frat' and all fraternities have 'frat' chapters, and well if they want to use it, more power to them!
