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

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

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.

You should drop if you're not man enough to handle the pledging process. Swallowing a goldfish is nothing considering what other houses make their pledges do. YDI for rushing without knowing what you're getting into

My club sport "frat" was so much better than this. You could opt out of anything and not worry about it. We are all closer then ever and we didn't have to do stupid rituals like this. You don't need it.

I NEVER did anything like this when I was a new member. It's called hazing, it's illegal, and it's actually frowned upon in Greek Life nowadays.

Acceptable "pledging" pranks are no deodorant for a week or wearing a furry costume. You don't make someone swallow a non-edible LIVING creature that could give them a parasite. This whole competition with other houses for the craziest plegde ritual is what caused all those deaths and what got all those Frat houses in trouble to begin with.
