Student told the university’s police department that assault by two men occurred in August during a night of drinking

A sorority member at the University of Arizona has alleged she was sexually assaulted by two men at a fraternity house during a night of drinking in late August.

The student told the university’s police department that she consensually kissed one of the men at one point while at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house on 26 August but doesn’t remember agreeing to sex, according to search warrant records posted Monday night by KOLD-TV in Tucson.

The sexual assault allegations surfaced two weeks after the university had suspended activities for its 21 fraternities amid reports of misconduct, including assault, hazing and drug- and alcohol-related behavior. Suspensions on all but five fraternities have since been lifted after they had mandatory meetings with the dean of students.

      and this doesn’t happen at other parties on and around campuses?

      A bunch of drunk kids are toxic as fuck.

        I remember at university halls being woken at 3am by unknown voices in the house. I went upstairs to find my female housemate trying to tell some random drunk guy she wasn’t interested while his crony mate giggled from the stairway. She sounded terrified and he was just leering in her doorway. He even had the gall to call me a prick for making him leave. Just walked into a stranger’s house to try and get laid - anywhere other than uni halls that’s a serious offence.

    Typical Red Zone sexual assault. The Red Zone is a term used by safety advocates, law enforcement, and universities to describe the timeframe between the start of the fall semester and Thanksgiving break. Statistically, more than 50% of all college sexual assaults occur during these first few months of the academic year. It’s so bad there is an official term. 😡

    Paying debt slavery money to get raped by frat bros who will then write an essay about how incredibly sorry they are that they ruined your life. Can’t ask more than that. I mean, it’s not fair for 20 mins of action, right?

    during a night of drinking

    but doesn’t remember agreeing to sex

    because she was blind drunk. Frat parties attract people like this. Impossible to know if she provided consent, or not.

        And how does the guy know if she’s ‘too drunk to consent’? Especially if he’s equally drunk.

        Frats can get fucked tho I have no doubt there’s a whole lot of raping going on around them.
