There are women who would disagree. You may not mean to be offensive, but there are those who would be offended. See thread in Greek Life. It was my understanding that there were those who wished to keep this thread on topic - go to, gentlemen.

I'm sure there are women who would take offense. That's why you don't go around saying it to a bunch of randoms that you don't know.

And that's why I specify that context is important. Not that I would ever think using the term is a good thing, but I can understand it a little more amongst chapter brothers, as opposed to a mixed group of men and women with whom you are not really acquainted. As my earlier example stated, calling your chapter brother "fratty" or some form of "frat" might be hilarious - but you could be in big trouble if you did it to someone you didn't know who might be really offended.
