Say What?

By Jake Hostetter | April 7, 2003

Greek-tastic lingo: Take it or leave it

April 3, 2003

"Frat-tastic." It's a word often heard around Grounds -- but not a word often defined. The same goes for its feminine counterpart, "srat-tastic." Sure, we love to throw these words around -- as in, "Wow, that cigarette burn in his North Face fleece is so frat-tastic") -- but what do they actually mean?
