The situation reached a critical point when protestors tried once more to remove the flag. At this juncture, the fraternity brothers stepped forward, forming a protective barrier around the flag.

UNC student Guillermo Estrada provided an eyewitness account of the events, underscoring the tension and the fraternity brothers’ steadfast resolve in protecting this national symbol.

Amidst their chants, echoes of “We Want Trump!” resonated, highlighting a growing sentiment among the students.
