A group of fraternity brothers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, members of the Phi Delta Theta chapter, are set to attend Day 3 proceedings at the 2024 Republican National Convention. These young men gained national attention back in May for their patriotic act of defending the American flag during a protest on campus.
During the protest, anti-Israel agitators attempted to remove the American flag from a campus flagpole and replace it with the Palestinian flag. In a remarkable display of patriotism, the fraternity brothers stood in the rain for nearly an hour, holding the U.S. flag above their heads to prevent it from touching the ground while facing objects thrown at them by the protesters.
