Baker (pictured right) said she asked a man described as a 6-foot-tall, 230-lb. black man with a muscular build-if he had seen her cell phone.

While attending a party at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house on Jan. 12, Katie Baker told The Chronicle she was the victim of “a random act of violence” when she was punched in the face by a man she had met only 15 seconds earlier.

Baker, a sophomore majoring in exercise and sports science, said she approached the unidentified man at approximately 11:30 p.m. in an attempt to track down her lost cell phone. Baker said the man initially seemed interested in helping her. Moments later, she was left with four fractures and two facial lacerations that required seven stitches.

The Chronicle‘s several attempts to contact possible witnesses from Pi Kappa Alpha and members of Greek Row were unsuccessful. 
 

“To be in a room with 20-plus people that see this happen and do anything, that is 21-plus people who have no morals and no ethics,” Baker said. “That disgusts me and scares me a lot that you can allow this to happen and not say anything.”

Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity describes itself thus: “The purpose of social fraternities is to build better men. This is done through leadership training and experience, service to the school and community along with social interaction. Simply put Pi Kappa Alpha will enhance young mens college years.”
