I just cannot believe this stuff.

I am so sure that MTV didn't flim this incident. I doubt this idiot guys would have done this if they didn't think it was going to be on MTV.

I am so glad I don't get MTV, because I will never watch it again.

:mad: Looks like they are following Sigma Chi Omega's footsteps:mad:

This just MAKES ME SOOOOO MAD because greeks all over have all tried so hard to combat the stupid stereotypes that groups like this INSIST on perpetuating.

Sorry for all the mean words.. this just really really really UPSETS me.

PiKA2001 06-05-2003 01:10 PM

That is just so stupid

Nice. :rolleyes: :eek: :mad:

Between this article and what Corina (wishinhopin) has told us about these jerks, I have a feeling that we are in for one hell of a FL2. Way to go, dumbasses. Way to go. :mad:

First of all.. a 15 year old fish? Would you put that in your mouth?

This does not bode well for the next season of MTV's Fraternity Life. If this group has similar antics I think it'll enforce stereotypes to many.

I don't think it'll change or recruit pool very much though. While this reinforces stereotypes it doesn't create new ones. Many years of unfavorable media attention to GLO's worst side has done that for us.

How old are these guys anyway??? They seem WAY IMMATURE.

Most chapters I know have at least a few brothers with some kind of SENSE and REASONING to deter their fellow brothers from doing stupid things.

It seems like when people get in front of a camera, especially one being held by MTV, they lose all sense of reason and rationality about any situation they enter. Any other time, I'm sure most of these guys are pretty normal by most standards, but for some reason, they get that urge to act out or preform... and it's just very unfortunate that the people MTV happens to be filming are Greek, local or not.

As a journalism major, I find it very innap. that they used the term "Frat Boys" in the article (let alone it being the first three frickin words).

They earned that title in my opinion.

DeltaSigStan 06-05-2003 06:17 PM

True, but for a reporter to refer to them as that would be editorializing...

Oh, they sure did earn that title.

You know . . . everything ya'll are saying is true . . .

But Damn that shit was FUNNY! :D

AUDeltaGam 06-05-2003 08:59 PM

That is just so horrible :mad: :(

CatStarESP4 06-05-2003 09:05 PM

That is the most horrific thing I have ever read. Kois are beautiful fish, they add beauty to any garden pond. I almost wanted to cry when I read she was caught and subsequently eaten. What did these idiots do to a poor fish that didn't do anything to deserve this cruelty? As for the coverage of this story, I am fed up with all the negative press about GLOs and the coverage of stereotypes. We all need to band together, fight this crap and demand they cover the positive aspects of Greek Life.

Rest In Peace, Goldie! Nobody could harm you in fish heaven!

I am boycotting FL2!!!

Some folks do seem to place a little too much value in the life of a fish..

mmmm tuna.

steelepike 06-06-2003 12:32 AM

I have done alot of stupid things, and I did most of them before i was a member of my fraternity. Oh well we live we learn and then we do it again and hopefully we learn again. Bad PR is just everwhere and when Greeks do something well and should get some recognition its downplayed.
