But to each their own.

Exactly. The way I took it was that a fraternity is a brotherhood of men who do community service, give to philanthropy, etc. whereas a frat is what is shown in popular media. A bunch of guys who fight, haze pledges, get drunk and sleep around. I get offended if someone calls my fraternity a frat, even with the best of intentions. (No offense to those groups that refer to themselves as frats, that's just how I was educated.)
Back on topic, I'm in a fraternity, so I MUST drink (copious amounts at that), use words like "broski", "brah" and "brohan", haze pledges like its my job, hook up with as many girls as I can (especially sorority women) and have an endless amount of Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson and Phish albums.
