LSU DKE Takes ‘Who Do You Know Here?’ A Bit Too Far, Gets Charged With Battery
Formal rush can be a stressful time for both active and prospective fraternity members. This is the future for the both of you, and both sides are on edge in an attempt to get things right. That’s why seemingly non-confrontational situations — like having a non-member check to make sure no rushees got loose from the tour group — can turn into an LSU DKE member getting charged with battery for throwing a guy down two flights of stairs. Just trying to make a good first impression.
Police say a volunteer of Rho Alpha — similar to the fraternity version of a Pi Chi — went to check the other floors of the DKE house to make sure none of the potential rushees had left the tour group and gone to other floors: a rush rule violation. It seemed like a simple task, but…
From The Advocate:
When the volunteer reached the third floor, a man confronted him about what he was doing upstairs, according to a police report. After explaining, the volunteer turned to leave, but was confronted by a second man, later identified as Nicholas Daniel Lorusso II, who pushed him down the stairs, the report says.
As the volunteer got up, Lorusso again pushed him down the next set of stairs, cutting and fracturing the victim’s hand, the report says. The volunteer needed 13 stitches in his hand and will need surgery to repair the fracture.
This is a prime example of why asking questions first and shooting later doesn’t work. If this was just a drive-by shoving, Lorusso wouldn’t be in this situation.
In all seriousness, this reaction was a tad aggressive. I’ve enjoyed dropping the “who do you know here?” line as much as the next guy, but that’s usually when randos are at the front door. I’m guessing this rush event was taking place either in the morning or early afternoon? You’ve got to be better than that. Unless the guy was talking shit; I have a strict talk shit, get hit rule.
If only there was a way to explain this guy’s behavior…
Lorusso, 20, of 1133 Robert E. Lee, New Orleans, was booked Wednesday into Parish Prison on second-degree battery.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiit. Unfortunate week for this man. Jail today, street sign toppled tomorrow..

7 years ago at 11:22 amThat’s how I got a DUI reduced to reckless driving despite the overwhelming mountain of evidence against me. And I can still join the securities industry 🙂
7 years ago at 11:51 amYou’re a terrible person.
7 years ago at 11:54 amSame tbh. Blew almost a .2 but got off on a .8 dui. Knowing people is great.
7 years ago at 12:09 pmAs someone whose known far too many people who’ve been killed by drunk drivers, I just wanna say personally fuck both of you.
7 years ago at 12:17 pmIf you knew the story you would rescind that statement
7 years ago at 5:18 pmDrunk driving is only a tfm if you’re good at it dumbass
7 years ago at 9:54 pmFeel free to share with the rest of us then.
7 years ago at 1:08 pmIf you blew a .8 you’d be dead numb nuts. Please remove yourself from the gene pool before you do any more damage

7 years ago at 5:17 pmNice. I had a .114 and would have been fine but for 1. there was literally a fucking hurricane happening at 2:30AM and 2. the car in front of me didn’t have taillights. Rear-ended at 15mph. I honestly feel like I didn’t deserve to be convicted.
7 years ago at 7:30 amI went through the trouble of recovering my account just to personally tell you to go fuck yourself. You are a selfish asshole, and you deserve whatever happens to you. Unfortunately, the victims of drunk driving don’t.
7 years ago at 9:29 amfuck you

7 years ago at 1:43 pmPeople like you who don’t get that there’s a difference between going hard and just not caring about the property and lives of those around you are what’s killing greek life.
7 years ago at 2:55 pmThis loser isn’t in a fraternity and he’s admitted it on here before
7 years ago at 3:02 pmYou meant to post this with your BuschLattes account I’d imagine. No shame though, you keep track of your 15 accounts as well as your busy high school schedule allows.
7 years ago at 3:07 pmI was talking about Fratty Couples you dumb shit. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if you were a geed as well. Fucking loser
7 years ago at 3:40 pmFor like the millionth time, I’m a Kappa sig. Also I can handle my liquor and the only reason I got caught was that I turned myself in.
7 years ago at 7:27 amGood lord you are a dumbass
7 years ago at 6:10 pmFratty Couples I am ashamed to share my letters with you. You sound like an emotionally stunted piece of shit.
7 years ago at 12:59 pmWhat’s wrong with that?
7 years ago at 1:03 pmYou imbeciles are clueless. I am not the vaginator even though I admire the amount of real estate he owns in all your shit brains
7 years ago at 6:02 pmBOTD has one great behind. I’d like to put some barbeque sauce on it…
7 years ago at 11:35 amNot sure where you’re going with this but I respect it.
7 years ago at 2:57 pmWhere’s fail friday
7 years ago at 11:49 amThought this said LSU Dike at first. Was disappointed
7 years ago at 1:08 pmThought you were a total dumbass. Wasn’t disappointed
7 years ago at 2:00 pmActually, fuck these guys. There’s nothing frat about being an uncultured thug. If this guy was disrespectful or hard to get along with in any way he would’ve deserved getting a good beating and removal from the property, but he explained what he was doing and that he was on his way out. Sounds like Lorusso belongs in a street gang, not a frat.
