Crossword Genius

Traitor in fraternity (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rat

'traitor' is the definition.
(rat can mean a treacherous person)

'in fraternity' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RAT' is hidden within 'fraternity'.

(Other definitions for rat that I've seen before include "Renegade" , "Cad" , "Unpopular rodent" , "Rodent; informer (colloq.)" , "Scumbag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
