Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Frat"

A: OH. You have a question about “as” being used.

“It started out as your standard-issue frat hazing” is right.

“It started out your standard-issue frat hazing” is right.

It can be said with or without “as.” Both sentences mean the same thing.

A: "It started out your standard-issue frat hazing" isn't grammatically correct. I think it should be "It started out *as* your standard-issue frat hazing"

This means "Initially, it was just normal frat hazing".

A: Fraternal societies are a common sight on and around American universities. There are very few colleges that do not have fraternities and sororities. Though at one point established for mutual aid and making connections in business and trades after finishing one's studies, these organizations seem to mainly exist for partying and recreation in today's day and age. In a similar way to the way cheerleaders and jocks are represented as occupying the highest level of what we might call the 'popularity hierarchy' in high schools (at least in the stereotypical representation we see on TV), members of popular fraternities and sororities are seen as being the most popular students on college campuses. It's common for members of the fraternity or sorority to 'pledge', meaning to apply for membership at the start of their studies. This is sometimes followed, unfortunately, by 'hazing', the process of subjecting newcomers to various punishments and tests to check their worthiness and commitment (this practice has actually resulted in deaths, believe it or not). As I mentioned before, fraternities often hold parties, sometimes regularly on Fridays and weekends, where, according to the stereotype, large quantities of alcohol are consumed (often 'kegs', or steel drums of beer are depicted in films).

It's different from a bachelor party in that the events are planned and regular and can occur without any relation to any specific event, whereas bachelor parties are typically thrown by the groom's friends and are relatively spontaneous.

A: Frat boy is a boy who who behaves very foolishly, who think they are better than everyone cause they are in a fraternity (not always the case.) They drink and party a lot. Some names are: Dylan, Harry, Luke, Jacob, Josh, Todd, Tyler

A: "Frat" is short for "fraternity." Fraternities are social groups on American college campuses that are known for having big parties, where they often drink lots of alcohol. "Pad" is slang for "house."

So a frat pad is like a party house.
