BREAKING: Sigma Phi Epsilon sued after man loses eye

[alert type=”yellow”]This is a developing story.[/alert]

A man has sued Sigma Phi Epsilon and is seeking more than $1 million in damages after a member kicked the man’s eye and “irreparably damaged it” while trying to kick a can off his head, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Brenton Griffin’s eye had to be surgically removed after he was invited to attend a party at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house.

Once he fell unconscious, one of the members situated him in a sitting position where the intoxicated kicker proceeded to kick a can off the Griffin’s head. The kicker proceeded with his actions while Griffin sat unconscious, according to the report.

In addition to the fraternity, Griffin named seven fraternity members in the report, some of whom were officers at the time of the incident on Sept. 19, 2013.
