When I was Rush Chair all houses had the first round parties in the student union. We each got our own room to decorate however we wanted. We chose a Jungle theme and had vines and exotic flowers and the like all over. I thought it would be the coolest to decorate a kiddie pool like a pond and put live goldfish in it!
Everyone was talking that day during set-up, "wow, the Chi-os have real live goldfish!!" I was happy as a clam thinking how we would be immortalized in Rush decor history because of MY idea when a University rep walked in 10 minutes before the first party!!! Apparently "someone" (a jealous rival sorority member!!!) told the university and we were told that no live animals were allowed in the building except for seeing eye dogs! I argued and argued but could do nothing. What's worse, because we didn't have time to take them out before parties, we had to just push the pond to a corner of the room and cover it up so no one could see it!
