The way it was explained to you is stupid. Especially in the thread that has already mentioned U of Tenn and Bama.

The word Frat has negetive stereotype attached to it more animal house party mentality when you hear the word Frat. When I hear the word Fraternity I think of men not boys. A group of people who have a purpose try to carry it out the best of their ability, work towards a common goal, respect themselves their organizations and others.

This is the reasonable explanation. It has nothing to do with shortening words being disrespectful and everything to do with the connotation many have with the word "frat."
