A student identified as Jane Doe has filed a lawsuit alleging that seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity at Cornell University coerced her into taking drugs before gang raping her at an off-campus house in October 2024. The legal complaint details accusations of drug coercion and sexual assault.
The lawsuit includes claims referencing Snapchat messages exchanged by fraternity members, which reportedly shed light on the events. Doe's own text messages from the time are also cited as part of the evidence.
The Chi Phi fraternity is a national fraternity with a chapter at Cornell University. The university has faced scrutiny over its handling of campus safety and fraternity conduct in the past.
