As I have posted before, I am not Greek but plan to rush in the fall. I have friends who are in fraternities and they have never said anything about being offended by the word frat. I will admit that I often say frat out of pure laziness, but I never think anything of it. When I hear either word I never get a bad picture, but this could be because I have never been given a reason to. I can understand how the word frat upsets some beacuse it could give a non-Greek a bad picture of your organization, but from my non-Greek point of view I don't think it's that bad. I think people often assume bad things when they hear the word frat is because the media and movies have put such a drunken and ignorant cloud around Greek life.
Please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
