Big WTF Moment of the Day:

I was at Mitch and Joe's place tonight and somehow we got to talking about weird things that we have witnessed happening on campus... for instance, I was telling him about how I saw a guy on a skateboard get run over in the PEDESTRIAN CROSS WALK by some fuckass girl... who didn't stop until bystanders began screaming at her car. She clearly hit the guy, you can't miss that, his body slammed right into her car and afterwards, she proceeded to get out of her car and yell at him... Anyway if that's not ridiculous enough in itself, Joe was telling me about how last year the Crew Team made their freshmen go on a run really ridiculously early in the morning on a 30 degree day with really bad wind chill factor on top of that... and one of the guy's came back to his dorm and took a hot shower to try to warm up but it turns out he had heart problems that were brought on by running in crucial conditions and he ended up collapsing on his way to class and cracked his head in the middle of the street and it is said that he fractured his skull so bad that you could see his brain. And nobody called for help. When the paramedics came, it was already too late, they couldn't save him.

I don't get it, I really hate the things that people have to do to be "initiated" into whatever frat and/or club they're trying to get into. Why would you subject yourself to something so stupid? Would you really want to be in an organization who can't just take you as you are, one that needs to "break you" so they can "build you" into the machine that you're supposed to become? You'd think people would begin to see through this especially when people begin to die from being subjected to such activities.... Robbie was here this weekend and he was telling me how one of the frats on his campus made guys jump into some lake naked in the middle of the winter and throw handles of vodka into the water and they'd have to dive, find it, and drink the whole handle. If you don't die from hypothermia, or from drowning, you'd have to die from alcohol poisoning... who can drink all that alcohol? And they tell you this is a bonding experience? What the fuck? Bonding on the verge of death my ass... all I would be worried about at that point is survivial... Mindless.
