From the "you can't make this stuff up" department . . .

This one’s beggin for an “all-Fours” joke. Anyone care to take it on?

Would you could you with a goat?

I will not, will not with a goat. I’ll pass on the “all-Fours” joke, too.

Now see, I can’t understand why anyone would let themselves be subjected to crap like this. I can’t see the appeal of fraternities whatsoever. Why does anyone think this kind of abuse is fun or desirable? What’s the payoff? You get to wear a stupid hat and live with a bunch of drunken morons? I’ll never understand it.

Damn. Now that the military has their “If Frat Boys Do It, It’s Not So Bad” policy in place I can just imagine what’s in store for those prisoners in Gitmo.

But the SDMB…that’s another story :smiley:

I guess this type of incident helps explain the lifelong friendships formed in the fraternity system. If you’re part of a group of guys that rapes a goat - that’s not a bond you’re going to forget.

OK, in all seriousness, I am with you. I think that anyone who subjects his or her person to abuse would do well to re-think things.

I’m not dissing fraternities or soroties, but I just don’t get it either.

I will say that not ALL of them require idiotic initiations, and are more like a “home away from home.” With emotional and study support. Unfortunately, I have never experienced these, it is purely second and third hand info.

Uh, sororoties ( I think) :smack:

More disturbing than what they tell is the lack of goat sized condoms in the house. Did they expect the goat to go unprotected during all of this? Talk about animal cruelty.

Close. It’s ‘sororities’, from the Latin for “sister”.

“That would be Up The Butt, Baaaaaaab.”

Gaaaaaat nuthin’
