It's 2 a.m. and an underground pledge meeting for the Omega Theta chapter of Omega Psi Phi is underway at a Third Ward home. Two University of Houston students are being asked about poetry, the Greek alphabet and the history of the African-American fraternity that can boast basketball legend Michael Jordan, civil-rights activist Jesse Jackson Sr. and comedian Bill Cosbyas alumni members.
After the fourth pummeling by Omega Psi Phi members, Lee West III was diagnosed with internal bleeding. The alleged assailants as well as the African-American fraternity, which will turn 100 years old in November, have denied West's claims.

Lee's father, Lee West Jr., is a 30-year member of Omega Psi Phi. Since filing the lawsuit in Harris County civil court, he says that his old fraternity buddies have given him the cold shoulder.

One pledge, Jermel Kyle, struggles to remain conscious as he's repeatedly punched in the stomach. Next to him is Lee West III, a 21-year-old University of Houston junior who tries hard not to pass out
