text: A 19-year-old girl was forced to relearn basic functional skills such as walking, swallowing food and getting dressed after she fell out a fraternity house's window and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Summer Elbardissy was partying at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, last year when she reportedly tried to reach a makeshift roof deck. But instead of making it onto the deck, where students often gathered, she fell out of a third-story window, according to newly-released police reports and a lawsuit filed in the city's Superior Court. Moments later, another teenager heard what 'sounded like a thud hitting the ground'. Miss Elbardissy was discovered lying unconscious on the floor, with her face covered in blood.

Frat house: The 19-year-old was reportedly partying at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house (pictured) at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, last year when she tried to reach a makeshift roof desk . The intoxicated sophomore was rushed to St Francis Hospital with serious injuries, including a brain injury and swelling, a broken skull and pelvis, and lung bruising, the Hartford Courant reported. She was forced to undergo intubation and had to relearn how to walk, according to a GoFundMe page that was set up by  Miss Elbardissy's mother, Inas Morsi, after last September's accident. She also had to be taught by a therapist how to swallow food, brush her teeth, get dressed and wash herself, it is reported. Seven months on, she is apparently still recovering from the fall. On the fundraising page, which has raised more than $44,000 for the teenager, Ms Morsi has described her daughter as a 'fighter', adding: 'this is just another battle that she will overcome.' In November, she wrote: 'This is a special Thanksgiving for our family. We are thankful for so many things. We are especially thankful for all of the support you have shown us for Summer.' And Miss Elbardissy herself appears to be in good spirits - over the past few months, she has posted smiling photos and positive messages on her Facebook and Instagram pages on a regular basis.

Sophomore: Miss Elbardissy (pictured, left and right, in Facebook photos) was rushed to St Francis Hospital with serious injuries, including brain swelling, a broken skull, hip and pelvis and bruising on her lung . The fall was not the first notable incident to have occurred at Beta Theta Pi, which is not recognized by Wesleyan University as a fraternity and was once dubbed 'the rape factory' in a lawsuit. In 2010, a student alleged that she was sexually assaulted at the fraternity house, while another claimed to have been raped by a non-student on the premises in 2013, according to WFSB. In Miss Elbardissy's case, police were apparently already at the house investigating a noise complaint when she fell. They were alerted to her fate at around 1.15am on September 7. Miss Elbardissy was reportedly drunk at the time. As the officers waited for medics to arrive at the scene, they had beer poured over them out of a window by fraternity members, it is alleged.

'A really nice girl': The fall was not the first notable incident to have occurred at Beta Theta Pi, which is not recognized by Wesleyan University as a fraternity. Above,  Miss Elbardissy is seen in a Facebook photo . Following the incident, Wesleyan ordered students to stay away from the fraternity house, saying it had 'lost confidence in the ability of the fraternity members to manage social activities at the house'. Meanwhile, the national Beta Theta Pi fraternity suspended the Wesleyan Mu Epsilon chapter. It is believed that the fraternity is still out of bounds for students at the private liberal arts college. Now, Miss Elbardissy has filed a lawsuit against the fraternity and Wesleyan via her lawyer. The 24-page document accuses the university of failing to protect her from the dangers at the frat house. It alleges the college turned a blind eye to a number of safety violations at the house - including the roof deck, which the fraternity used 'openly and obviously' - despite warnings from city officials, .

This deck, featuring 'unsecured plywood', was negligent, created a public nuisance and led to Miss Elbardissy's fall, claims the lawsuit, which is seeking an unspecified amount of money in damages. Last year, police ruled that the fall was an accident. At the time, Wesleyan said: 'Our thoughts are with the injured student, who is improving, and we hope for a full and speedy recovery.' Eyewitnesses described the incident as 'pretty terrifying' and Miss Elbardissy, 'a really nice girl'. No one has been charged in the incident. Miss Elbardissy's lawyer declined to comment to the Courant.
