DETROIT — A Washtenaw County judge on Wednesday issued a preliminary injunction banning alcohol and capping the number of guests at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Eastern Michigan University.
The injunction was sought by City of Ypsilanti officials and Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit, who joined to file a lawsuit in January alleging the fraternity has created a public nuisance in its house or on nearby properties where 15 reported sexual assaults and other crimes fueled by "copious" amounts of alcohol consumption have been reported.
Savit said previously the lawsuit is filed under a law prohibiting public nuisances that has been used to intervene in drug houses and houses of prostitution.
