The crowd of men showed up at the house on Thursday night, banging on the doors and windows and yelling: “Let us in!,” “This isn’t your home!,” “This is our home!”
Inside, residents of Fran’s House an on-campus home for LGBTQ students at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa. locked the entrances and watched from the windows, terrified. They called campus public safety officials as the group of nearly 20 men tried to enter, resident adviser Tyler Luong said in a letter to the president of the private liberal arts school.
Some in the mob urinated on the front porch and swung a metal bar at a flagpole displaying the pride flag, said Luong, who described the assailants as former members of Tau Kappa Epsilon, a fraternity that was based at the house before it was banned by the university. When campus officers arrived, he said, they bonded with the men trying to break in rather than help the rattled residents.
