Well, by what she said, you're in the category of people who shouldn't be using the word "frat."

Just sayin'.

Vaguely related:

During officer elections for a club I'm in, one of the candidates was asked what his time commitments for the next semester would be- he said, "Well I'm in (some random club) and I'm planning on joining fraternity XYZ, which is another club, so it's only two clubs and I should be good to go time-wise." Every greek in the room got quiet, as the president of XYZ quietly said "First, don't ever call it a club. Second, don't ever assume you'll get a bid. Third, I have no idea where you got the idea that you'd have enough time to be an officer in this club while pledging any fraternity but I can assure you that is not the case." Watching people blackball themselves is so painful...

Right. The only people who are able to use the term in that sense are Greek. This expert geed needs to shut his pie hole.
