Why is frat derogatory

It reminds me of the 80's and the emergence of the Yuppies. I personally cannot wait for the backlash. The huge enormous backlash that must SURELY be brewing against this flood of mediocracy , sexism, homophobia, bland male dominance , parent pleasing hair styles and clothing, all used to attempt to try and disguise the filthy disgusting pervert that hides beneath.

Honestly, I feel that i could indeed kill. If I were to meet a frat boy down a dark, deserted ally The essence in itself of horseshit. The best way to destroy an infestation of frat boys in your home is to tell them that you will take away all of their beer and drugs should they stay at your house.

The behavior of a frat boy is usually marked by whiskey on the breath, angry demeanor, obsession with wrestling, being in a fraternity, being homoerotic, astronomically limited intelligence, and an existentially felt but only between frat boys hate for anything involving commone sense. See Adolf Hitler, or maybe George W. Bush, and assclown.

GmuTeke GreekChat Member. I had learned my lesson. Making a big deal out of a single word seems trivial. It is just a word, right? When I came to Cal U, one of the common questions asked from freshman to freshman is what sorority or frat he or she would be rushing. As I have met more and more individuals involved in Greek life, I developed a stronger opinion about the term frat. Some of my closest friends, and fellow staff at the Cal Times, are members of Greek life.

They belong to various organizations on campus, and I do not have a problem with any one of their organizations. Recently, Greek organizations have received a lot of media attention. While a house mother is not a part of the fraternity by any means, the media treated it as if she was. The morals and the ethics behind these Greek organizations were questioned. Both Kappa Sigma and Sigma Alpha Epsilon were blasted by news sites, broadcasters, social commenters, and bloggers. The media used the term frat when describing the organizations.

In another case, a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at the ivy league Dartmouth College was still referred to as frat boy in an article by Rolling Stone.

The term frat remains attached to the negative stigma surrounding fraternities. The stereotype of the frat brother is a binge-drinking, hazing, underachiever who has a. He only pledged his Greek organization to sleep with massive amounts of girls. His life is a scene from Animal House. And that is why it can be considered offensive to call a fraternity, a frat. Students across different campuses are calling for the abolition of Greek Life.

In , student activists at Swarthmore College led a four-day sit-in in protest of Greek life after racist, homophobic, and sexist documents were leaked. Swarthmore then proceeded to formally ban all sororities and fraternities.

This past month, students at American University created a petition asking for Greek life to be abolished on campus. On Instagram, students from Washington University in St. Louis, American University, and the University of Southern California, among other prominent schools are documenting their horrific experiences with sororities and fraternities on campus. However, this is not new. Greek life has a long history of being racist and exclusive. Phi Beta Kappa, the first U. As sororities and fraternities grew more popular and gained traction in the s, they were then organized and further separated by sex, religion, and race.

Soon these organizations began to largely reflect the demographics of their predominantly white campuses: wealthy white, Angolo-Saxon, and protestant men WASPs. There was very little, if any, diversity among the organizations. Even as more Black, Indigenous, and People of Color BIPOC were admitted into educational institutions, historically white fraternities and sororities continued to exclude them. In fact, Greek letter organizations included racial bans in their constitutions well into the s.

Continued segregation in Greek life throughout the early 20th century inevitably became a social and professional detriment to students of color. College campuses provided special housing and buildings for Greek affiliated organizations, yet none for cultural organizations or multicultural fraternities and sororities. White sororities and fraternities led, and continue to lead to powerful alumni networks and career opportunities.

In response to the segregation they faced, Black students began to create their own Greek organizations, against university pushback.
