Danny Jackson entered Phi Kappa Tau on move-in day. He was the first pledge to move in -- no one else was in the house, unbeknownst to him. So, when he heard the sound of footsteps drudging down the stairs, he wasn't surprised. Jackson approached the source of the sound, calling out "Who's there, who's there?," looking for his fellow house mates. He rounded the corner toward the stairs and the sound stopped. He saw nothing and froze. The touch of a hand rested on Jackson's shoulder sending him into a seizure. His brothers found him soon after and helped him to the Health Center.
