[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid goes to school in the South, it's a fraternity, not a frat. At UVa, some people will call them frats, but people in the theoretically-'top-tier' fraternities and sororities (which have a bunch of Southern UMC) will call them fraternities. It's not consciously judgmental, but it's a standard usage thing. "Frat@ sounds wrong to people in the South in the same way that bad verb conjugation sounds off.[/quote] They prefer to use the term ‘fraternity’ in the north also; think it may be more the non-Greek kids (and parents) who call the, frats; won’t post here the analogy they use when correcting someone to call it a ‘fraternity’ not a ‘frat’[/quote] +1 At H-SC in the '90s we were told 'you wouldn't call your country a c.u.n.t, so don't call your fraternity a frat.'[/quote]
