Frat Bros Protect Old Glory: UNC Fraternity Brothers Surround American Flag, Protesters Attack Them [Watch]

A group of fraternity brothers at the University of North Carolina protected a huge American flag from pro-Palestinian protesters who were trying to destroy it on Tuesday. The frat bros were determined not to let the flag touch the ground, despite being pelted with rocks and water bottles.

Guillermo Estrada, one of the fraternity brothers holding the flag up, shared his POV on X.

“(Thread) Today was a sad yet empowering day at Chapel Hill. When I walked to class, I saw the Palestinian flag raised on our quad flag pole, and was immediately upset at the act that these “protestors” had made. I cannot say I am fully educated on the Israel/Palestine conflict”

“My fraternity brother and others ran over to hold it up, in order for it not to touch the ground. People began throwing water bottles at us, rocks, sticks, calling us profane names. We stood for an hour defending the flag so many fight to protect.”
