The term "Frat Rat" is often used to describe a girl (i.e sorority girl) who frequents the fraternities of her school. Often. It's debatable if the boys of the house love or hate her, but either way she simply does not care. She may have a favorite fraternity, or she might not hold any preferences and just have an affliction for smelly houses, rude boys and cheap liquor.
Regardless if you frolic down your fraternity row Thursday through Sunday or have a permeant home there, here are 44 ways you know you are a Frat Rat:

2. The brothers in the house know you by name, and don't really stop you from going into any particular room.
3. You've asked if you could sit in on chapter, and they've actually considered saying yes.
