Have you talked to anyone in a sorority? Its a fraternity for females and they share the same speech quirks.

>. It has nothing to do with insulting frats, just that particular language which is "frat-ish".

That's nice, do you also take offense to things like ebonics because they seem "black-ish"?

I think you're being unintentionally insensitive because you're blind to your own prejudice

I don't disagree with you, I'm just stating why people make those statements. I would go even further than just frats/sorities, that type language isn't uncommon with college aged people.

I'm not sure what you mean by your last statement. All I was saying is that I'm not trying to insult frats, it's just this language is associated with frats and its how people describe it. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, different groups will always have dialectical quirks like that.
