A buddy of mine's grandad once got drunk with us when we were like 17ish, and told us that no matter we did, we should never join a fraternity in college.

Apparently, when he was in college, he got sucked into this cycle of hazing and sunk cost fallacy (not what he called it, but that's what I think it was). It started off pretty basic, and ended up with him and a couple other pledges being dressed as girls and servicing all of the brothers for a weekend. Including, and this is a quote, "taking it up the ass. The other two guys got some butter shoved up their first, but I didn't." Said he bled for days and couldn't tell anyone, because then they'd call him a f-slur and probably kick him out of school

I'm assuming it's not quite so bad anymore, but lemme tell you, I never once considered joining a frat after that tearful old man relived his fucking horror story to us while drunk

Do you mind starring out the word f** like I did? It's setting off the automod.
