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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, my sister presented me with an "official pet killer" award after yet another goldfish under my care died of unknown causes. FML
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 came home to my boyfriend emptying his bowels into my aquarium. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Please report this to your university. This is inhumane and should not be allowed.

Hazing is illegal, and swallowing live goldfish is animal abuse. I would report them.

Well these are the type of people you get stuck with when you pay for friends

One of the MANY reasons I refuse to join a frat.

As part of your job it is your responsibility to ensure that whoever is buying animals from your store will be going to a loving home. I know there's peer pressure but you shouldn't have sold them the fish. Despite the fact that it is an initiation it is still cruel for the fish as well as pretty disgusting for you.

Poor fish! ?

That is disgusting. And illegal. It is animal cruelty. In the UK it is illegal and you can be prosecuted and the RSPCA can investigate. I don't know about the States. It isn't worth your career, criminal record and reputation.

Well, all in all for a frat that's not that bad. Not to mention you'll probably be drunk during it.

Lord of the flies is all that comes to mind when I think of frats..
