Student Beat at Ball State Delt House Sues Frat

Student Files Suit Against Fraternity, Alleged Attacker

A student who was said to have the living snot beat out of him last year at a party held by Ball State University's chapter of Delta Tau Delta has sued the attacker and the fraternity.

Zachary Holsinger says he was minding his own business at the party when three men picked an unprovoked fight with him. Holsinger says he was beaten to the point where he was unconscious.

The lawsuit alleges that his unconscious body was carried outside from the Delt party, where he was left to suffer alone. The suit also says the Delts didn't provide sufficient security at a party where alcohol was served.

Chad Howard Stickley, 22, has been charged in connection with the attack. If convicted, he could face eight years in prison.
