Hey, I was just wondering...I'm a recent graduate, and have been in the greek system since my freshman year. I've always wondered something though. Why exactly do some fraternity men get offended when people call their houses "frats"? I've always respected guys who say they want me to call their chapters fraternities, and have done my best to do so, but I honestly don't understand why it's demeaning. What year exactly did the term "frat" become a bad thing? When and why? And please, don't say that you wouldn't call this country a ... you know what, because I've heard it. I just want a clear explanation on the reasons why being called a frat is so offensive. Just curious.
Why is "frat" a bad thing?
