Can you explain something for me? Why do USF fraternities have such an issue with being called frats? I have friends in a few frats at USF that always correct me when I call it that. However, I have friends in frats at FSU, UF, and Alabama (places where Greek is on a whole other level) and they refer to them as Frats or don't correct me when I call it that. I brought up the USF people taking issue to being called frats and theyve just kind of laughed at it. I've heard the "country a..." stuff so don't go there. I just use it as a short cut sometimes.
Like I said, I have plenty of friends in fraternities and sororities at USF, and am really just curious. No hate here.

I was in a fraternity at USF....it never bothered me when people used the word frat.....the word does have a negative connotation attached to it at USF....thats def the view of the fraternities at USF anyway.....also another reason to yell at pledges when they dont use the "proper" term
