Brothers Come to Aid of Assaulted Female
Perhaps the woman who spoke at NHU could find a different perspective in this article from the Richmond (KY) Register newspaper:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fraternity breaks up incident that leads to capture of fugitive
BY RYAN GARRETT/REGISTER NEWS WRITER
The yelling got their attention, but the threat of physical harm sent them into action.
Members of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia's Omicron Psi chapter, a music fraternity at Eastern Kentucky University, were grilling hamburgers Wednesday at the new shelter in Lake Reba recreational complex when things started getting loud in the parking lot.
"It started off with just yelling, but after that it kind of evolved into the guy basically assaulting this girl," said Jim Koehler, chapter president.
James Russell Anderson, 39, of Richmond was standing next to a car arguing with a female who was in the driver's seat, and began pulling the female by her arm. Eventually, Anderson put her in a headlock that shook the car, Koehler said.
That was when the fraternity brothers decided they had seen enough.
"Everybody that we had there followed me. It was probably 20 something guys," Koehler said.
After being confronted, Anderson tried to plead his case to the enraged members and eventually stormed off on foot, Koehler said.
"The girl was very hysterical," said Richard Crosby, national president and provincial governor of the fraternity. "Her mother was in the back seat kind of in shock."
A park employee making his rounds stopped to see what was going on and called Richmond police after fraternity members explained the situation.
Police found Anderson still nearby in the park. When they checked his background, it turned up that there was a Madison District Court warrant from March 11 out for his arrest for theft by deception.
The incident brought out the best in the fraternity, said Crosby, who is also a music professor at EKU.
"Our founder was all about building moral and upright men, and that came out (Wednesday) night," Crosby said.
Koehler said he was proud he and the rest of the fraternity had defended the female.
"It felt really good having all the guys back me up when I was talking to (Anderson)," he said. "I felt like I was 30 feet tall."
------------------------------------------------------------------
I am so proud of my brothers at Omicron Psi. What a great story to appear right as we mark 106 years of brotherhood tomorrow (Oct. 6).

In a time when it seems that all we hear are the bad things that fraternity men do, it is nice to hear something positive.
And congratulations on 106 years!!

Excellent job! Nice to know there are some people who will help out someone rather than bury their heads in the sand and say "it is not my business"
Y'all rock!

Wow! What a great story!! Excellent work, especially in this day and age where people don't want to get involved because it's "none of their business".

I am.
It's great that those guys assisted the woman. That man must have been scared seeing 20 something guys coming to the rescue like the cavalry riding in.

Not really. Media outlets are looking for "hero" stories, and this is one.
