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

And, knowing full well what they were intending to do with the fish, you didn't refuse the sale?

Because he's so damn scared of those assholes not liking him, he'd do anything to please them. OP needs to grow up and grow a pair. Who gives a shit what a bunch of jackoff frat douches think?

Do you really want to be part of an organization that values and promotes animal cruelty? If so, you are an awful person.

Frats make no sense to me. We don't have them where I live, but from what I've heard, they're really stupid. I mean, what is swallowing a fish going to prove? Is it some sort of essential skill you need in order to live among those in the house? No, it's just for their entertainment. So I don't understand why so many people want to be part of something like that

If it's a decent frat, the organization is genuinely about brotherhood and holding up your values. Fraternities can be great support systems in college...unless they have stupid hazing rituals like this. I don't understand why people subject themselves to humiliation to join a group built on harmful traditions.

It's your choice to swallow that fish. It's cruel to that fish. You get to decide what type of person you are. Are you the type that will be cruel to and animal in order to fit in with a group or are you the type to stand up to abuses no matter who or what it's against? It's is an important moment in your life, choose well Grasshopper.

As a lot of others have said, that's hazing and it's illegal. It makes me mad to hear of other Greeks pulling shit like this, but even more so to think that we are all too late and you went through with it because you didn't know any better. Take it from this former risk management officer: report this to your Greek Life advisor immediately. To be clear, the Greek Life advisor is the person in charge of the fraternity/sorority program at your school, not your fraternity's advisor. Some schools and even national headquarters have zero tolerance hazing policies. And consider another fraternity if you haven't already been initiated by the time you read this. If you would still consider Greek Life at all.
