Today, as part of my job at a pet store, I helped our frat house president pick out goldfish for the new aquarium the big brothers are installing over summer break. And, once I'm initiated, I'll get to swallow one of the fish. FML

Today, I won a goldfish at the amusement park. My little brother took him out of the bowl because he thought he was drowning. FML

Today, I got my tongue pierced, then went to a pet store. A clerk came up to ask if I needed help. I showed him I already had some fish, and said, "No thanks." He must have thought I was "special," as he bent down and in a baby voice, said "You got fishy? FISHY FISHY FISHY!" while poking the bag. FML

My regret

Today, my little sister put me in charge of keeping her fighting fish alive. It would've been an easy task if it weren't for my crazy ex-boyfriend drunkenly forcing his way into my house, vomiting into the fishbowl and killing the fish. Only ten more hours until my family gets home. FML

Today, while doing some spring cleaning, I found the remains of my goldfish, which I was sure my cat ate last year. FML

Today, I excitedly showed my new roommate my pet fish. She then told me about how she purposely starved her last fish to see how long it would take before they started eating each other before starving to death. FML

Today, I was walking to the pet store to buy a month's worth of fish food for my fish so I wouldn't have to come back for a while. For fish food it was expensive. It was also surprisingly heavy and I had to carry it back to my house. When I got home, I saw my fish floating at the top of its bowl. FML

Today, I bought a new goldfish. While leaving my fish on my balcony to go get fish food, I hear a loud squawk and splash, I race outside to see a bird flying off with my fish. FML

Today, I bought a new Siamese Fighting Fish. I was so happy with my new fish so I bought him an expensive lovely bowl, some weeds, and a toy for the bowl. I left the room to get the fish food. When I returned, the fish was gone, and the cat was sitting on the table. FML

That's absolutely gross and mean. Frats are awful.

This is a big part of why I don't get people joining frats. Why the **** would you want to shit like that? It's college, if you like to party you can find tons of them without being in a frat.

Goldfish are really dirty creatures and some have suggested not to use feeder goldfish for pets who eat live fish! Too many parasites in them. Don't use catfish either, they have poisonous barbs.

That's technically hazing, and therefore illegal. Report it to the school officials, and stay out of that fraternity. This is why I hate fraternities and sororities... *shudder*

Ah, don't pass judgment about all of them! There are Greek organizations that sick to the anti-hazing rules. You just don't hear about us because we don't do stupid shit like this that gets us in trouble. An organization with hazing is not worth joining.

I had a friend who ate a live goldfish for a bet with his brother .. He said it wasn't bad and he'd do it again (for another $25).

You're getting yourself into this situation, 100% YDI. Also, you're an ass.

I agree that you should probably quit. If you work at a pet store, I assume you like animals. If you're going to swallow a live fish, maybe reconsider your job. Why would you even sell them to people you know are going to abuse them? What kind of maniac is okay with this sort of thing?

YDI for trying to fit into the "cool" crowd. Decent human beings don't make you do something that sick/wrong/unsanitary just to call you 'brother'. Evaluate your life choices. You're making a wrong one here.

That's hazing. Pretty illegal in every state in the US. Talk to the president. Inform him that he can either let you in now, with no ritual or initiation, or you can tell the Dean about his plans and have the frat removed from the school. Blackmail begets blackmail.
