Cornell University has suspended all fraternity social events for the 2026-2027 academic year following an alleged gang rape incident at one of its all-male fraternities, President Michael Kotlikoff announced Tuesday. All parties and social events in Interfraternity Council (IFC) houses at Cornell will be halted until the university can conduct a comprehensive review of fraternity life at the institution.
The 2024 incident, detailed in a graphic lawsuit filed last month, alleges that the accused men were pressured to take ketamine, assaulted, and raped a female student by seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity. Cornell initially shut down the fraternity and temporarily suspended the accused students, two of whom were later expelled.
