Nick, you don't have to get offensive just cause I think your tattoo looks silly...Why should you care what I think? It's your body, do with it what you want.
I love internet fighting, you know that. you shouldnt take offense to it, you know I still love you

A frat is like a group of interest or something, usually they have something in common: area of study, ethnicity, etc. It's the opposite of a sorority. (Nick should be able to define it better than me.)
They're generally stereotyped as assholes, alcoholics, womanizers, and so on.
I'm sure you've seen an American movie where there was a huge college party at a frat house?
And they're related to Greece somehow? Haha.
IE: Lambda Chi Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, Alpha Phi, Zelta Deta, etc.
edit// It's supposed to be a brotherhood/sisterhood type thing. Also, another stereotype is "they pay for their friends", because the societies require membership dues.
the relation to greece is their names, signified by greek letters.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternities_and_sororitieswikipedia can explain it a whole lot better.
as for the stereotypes, the people who dont know anything about fraternity/sorority life usually will sterotype a fraternity member to be more of a 'jock' or a 'prep'. the stereotypes go so deep as they all dress alike. my fraternity (at least in my point of view) is not like that. the members of my fraternity are just a mix of losers, nerds, jocks, preps, poor people, rich people, ladies men, football players (american of course), and just a big mix of people that somehow get along well enough and know eachother well enough for me to say that I feel that each member is like a brother to me, which is mainly the point of the fraternity.
fraternities are very involved on campus, with parties, other social events, and philanthropy events. they strive for their members to have a positive public image, so they have rules to keep your grades up, manage your finances, and to overall, better yourself as a person by setting standards for.. yourself.
fraternities and sororities also have secret mottos, that you have to be initiated to know. I know the secrets of the fraternity and will not tell them to anyone, unless they can prove to me that they are an initiated member.

Niiiiiiiiick, what's your frat's group of interest?
the interest that really made me want to join the one I did was the closeness of the members/brothers. and it was the diverseness of the people that really got my attention, and made me want to be a part of it. after being a part of it, it honestly means so much to me, that I really cant explain it in words. but I think that it has made my college experience so much better than if I hadnt joined.

White power.
Oh yeah....Nick I saw the Lambda house about a month or two ago. I meant to tell you, but I just now remembered.
This is Nick's frat:
