The idea being is that you dont call your country a ............They say "Fraternity". Frat boys don't like it when you call their Frat a "Frat".
I am sure every fraternity does things differently but the fact that THParent also mentioned it means that this is real thing among fraternities. That you heard other Greeks say it doesnt mean it isnt true or we take it too seriously. As much as fraternities are place for drinking and having a good time, we do have principles that we are taught and supposed to follow. That some dont, is a an issue for them. 32 years after graduating college, I still take the principles were taught as pledges seriously.That's the sound of someone taking themselves too seriously. My old frat rat roommate and his herd said frat all the time, BTW.
...or is this a 3 dig you have a crush on?
It was part of a joke. The issue was fraternization and someone used the word fraternity and how they never say frat. Thats all it was.super confused at how fraternities got involved, but as a fellow Doolie to another... It really depends. Like is this your Squadron CC, coach, element leader, or someone you want to thank for leadership, or is this a 3 dig you have a crush on?
