This.

Many NPHC, NALFO, and MC organizations use the term frequently. It's not considered disrespectful at all.

ETA: I've always wondered why "Soror" never gets the "You wouldn't call your country..." references. It's also an abbreviation, but no one seems to care about that one ::shrug::

Then again Soror is a legitimate word in it's own. Plus I never heard of a sorority referred to as a soror. Like I have heard greeks cal each other frater, and I have no problem with it because of what it means.

Same goes for calling each other "frat" and "frat brother."

Well im pretty sure the word FRATER is something said amongst brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon. They would refer to eachother as fraters but wouldnt refer to me as one obviously because im not a brother of theirs. thats From what I understood, I may be wrong. Which in return would make me look like a idiot lol

And among members of other fraternities.

And some NPHCers use it in reference to members of other NPHC fraternities.
