Ivy League fraternity suspended, vandalized after alleged drug raid

Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, has suspended a fraternity after an alleged assault on October 25.

The Ivy League school temporarily suspended Chi Phi this week after an individual reported he was “sexually assaulted by several men and forced to use ketamine and other drugs” over Halloween weekend, according to an alert from Cornell University police on November 8.

According to police, the person went to the police on November 8 to report the incident.

Neither Cornell nor Chi Phi immediately responded to questions from Fox News Digital, although police confirmed in the Nov. 8 crime alert that a fraternity where the incident occurred on Edgemoor Lane in Ithaca had been suspended “effective immediately.”

The university newspaper, the Cornell Daily Sun, first reported Chi Phi’s temporary suspension. The Sun also reported that a student activist group called Riot Moon smashed windows and spray-painted the Chi Phi fraternity house after the incident was reported.

Riot Moon told the newspaper it was “declaring a campaign against fraternities as mass perpetrators of campus sexual violence.”

“The problem runs deep at Cornell. It is deeper than any fraternity, deeper than any generation of students and certainly deeper than can be resolved by any action or suspension,” the board wrote. ‘It is the result of misogynistic, hierarchical organizations that are themselves rotten to the core. It is becoming increasingly clear that the only way out of the student problem at Cornell is a complete, permanent ban, replacing students with democratic, inclusive spaces that won’t commit unspeakable crimes seemingly every semester.”
