This is actually the only reason I tend to use "fraternity" more than "frat." I would always hang out with the Delta Chis, and they (at least the ones on my campus) were very serious about calling it a fraternity. But they didn't exactly have anything against someone if they said "frat". I think they just saw it as, "We're members, we know it's the Delta Chi Fraternity, that's what we call it" kind of thing.

But to each their own.
