Fraternities at Cornell University are facing fresh scrutiny following an alleged gang rape.
Authorities reopened an investigation Monday as outrage built over a woman’s lawsuit filed September 16 against the Chi Phi fraternity, the Ivy League school and the seven students she says assaulted her. She told police in November 2024 that she was assaulted at the fraternity house the month before, and prosecutors decided at the time not to prosecute anyone.
