No. Nobody could care less about that. It's because it's just super super dorky. To the PP who said their kid uses it, I say, liar.

Or does it objectively have a prerogative meaning that you object to? Or just too casual ?

I’ve literally never heard anyone say “fraternity” and I went to UVA.

No clue, but it seems to hit a real nerve with them.

You're wrong OP. So sorry, but my kids go to schools that are known for Greek life, and everyone says frat.

Wow, it annoys guys who are in frats when people refers to their organizations as frats? I’ll make sure that next time I talk to a frat bro I’m careful not to call it a frat, unless I slip up and accidentally call it a frat, which I might do seeing as frats are commonly called frats.

Thanks!
