This is the shocking moment a Texas State University student was left with brain damage after allegedly being attacked by Pi Kappa Phi fraternity members who 'thought he belonged to a different social club'.

Senior Nikolas Panagiotopoulos, 22, and a friend allege they were set upon by at least half a dozen members of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity as they walked past one of the buildings belonging to their Eta Rho chapter on the night of October 27 this year.

A group of frat members fractured his skull and caused him brain damage after pummeling him outside the Pi Kappa Phi frat house, according to court documents filed in Travis County Court last week.

It is very likely that the national Pi Kappa Phi fraternity will shut down the Texas State University chapter within days.

They are tough on hazing their own members. They will be super tough on thuggery.

Fun fact: Senator Lindsey Graham is a member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity

The Radford U chapter was dissolved for hazing. They stayed in the house and kept up the hazing. The paper tried to refer to them as a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi and had to be corrected multiple times. They couldn’t drop the “evil fraternity” narrative.

All of our hazing came from former military who thought pledging should be like boot camp.

As was Thomas Wolfe, Randy Owens of Alabama and Cong Howard Coble (R-NC) who was the only congressman to refuse his pension when he retired. We initiated Howard.

“The national office will cancel the chapter’s charter.” You mean not just Double Secret Probation?

Texas State used to be Southwest Texas State. The name change enraged quite a number of alums since it became TSU. The other TSU (Texas Southern University) is a predominantly black school in Houston. Among the Houston TSU’s law school alums is Hank Johnson of Guam fame.

Just like the University of North Texas, in Denton, used to be North Texas State.

Interesting how this story isn’t getting much traction here.

There’s even a video of the perps ganging up on the victim and attacking him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbECDYR0IJg

Where’s the outrage?

North Carolina and Virginia. We inducted our first African American in 1983, a Sri Lankan in 1985, about a dozen gay/bisexual by 1986.
