UNC Chapel Hill fraternity brothers who defended the American flag are finally able to throw a party.

The fraternity brothers at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill who stood up for the American flag during the spring semester campus unrest are now celebrating their victory.

A GoFundMe page set up by a non-related individual collected over $500,000 for the college men who stopped the American flag from being trampled on Chapel Hill's quad by anti-Israel protesters. Afterward, country singer John Rich announced that he would host a concert in their honor on Monday.

On Monday, more than 2,000 invited attendees are expected to show at the concert featuring Big & Rich, Aaron Lewis, John Ondrasik, and Lee Greenwood.

"Somebody raised these guys correctly." — John Rich

"When asked about his impression of the photo in May, Rich told Planet Chronicle Digital that he was so impressed because someone had taught them that the American flag should never touch the ground, and that they understood what was going on."

In May, anti-Israel protesters established an encampment on the quad and replaced the American flag with their own. UNC Chancellor Lee Roberts responded by calling upon law enforcement to return the flag to its rightful place. However, when the activists tried to remove the flag again, a group of male students, including members of several fraternities, intervened.

A student photographer's photo of a viral moment on social media became a national headline, as similar protests happened on college campuses across the country.

"Guillermo Estrada, a student from Chapel Hill's class of 2027, shared his thoughts on a recent day in a May 1 post on X. He stated that the day was both sad and empowering, and that when he arrived at class, he saw the Palestinian flag raised on the quad flag pole. This upset him, as he felt that his country's flag had been disrespected in order to advocate for another. Although he acknowledged that he may not be fully educated on the Israel/Palestine conflict, he expressed his disapproval of the act."

The American flag was returned to the pole, with videos on social media showing a group of students singing the National Anthem and chanting "USA!" as Chancellor Roberts and officers who replaced the flag the first time were met with profanity, middle fingers, thrown bottles, rocks, and water.

"We stood for an hour defending the flag so many fight to protect." — Guillermo Estrada

"As the flag was raised once again, the Greek community began singing the National anthem. However, when the Chancellor left, the quad erupted into chaos as protesters began removing the flag once again, preparing to destroy it. Estrada continued, "My fraternity brother and others ran over to hold it up, in order for it not to touch the ground. People began throwing water bottles at us, rocks, sticks, calling us profane names. We stood for an hour defending the flag so many fight to protect.""

Estrada revealed that he comes from an immigrant family and a "military community" where he witnessed the sacrifices they make.

"I will not tolerate the disrespect these 'protestors' show towards our flag in the name of another country," Estrada wrote. "My LDOC will be remembered for the bravery of my fraternity brothers and others who fought to keep the flag flying. However, it will also be remembered for the many who seek to disrespect it."

According to GoFundMe, the fraternities involved in the American flag moment were Pi Kappa Phi, AEPi, Delta Upsilon, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, and Zeta Beta Tau.

"We are thrilled to announce that any excess funds remaining from our party will be donated to charities that align with the theme of our fundraiser. Charities suggested by the frats include Back the Blue NC, Wounded Warrior Project, Children of Fallen Patriots, and Zeta Beta Tau Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism. Our commitment to honoring donor intent remains our top priority at Pints for Patriots."

In May, the "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" singer praised the "courage" of the students who displayed the flag in opposition to the protesters and defended their convictions.

"When people, especially young ones, have the courage and resolve to express their love for their country and honor the flag, even during challenging times, they should be acknowledged. I hope that by recognizing them in a significant manner, it will inspire the same passion nationwide."

The live streaming of Flagstock will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday.
