I always thought of "frat" as a term that was initially used negatively that greek people use jokingly to take the offensive out of it; see "fratty" and "TFM" and all of those things. They're not serious- no one legitimately brags about being TFTC, it's used facetiously- so it's acceptable to use as someone in the greek community but not okay from someone out of it. After talking to friends from different schools including SEC schools, frat is okay if a fraternity man/sorority woman is using it facetiously but not okay if used by someone outside the system like a PNM. It's like an inside joke in that it's not cool to use if you're not in on it, aka initiated.
