Story summary

A University of Arizona sorority member has alleged she was sexually assaulted by two men at a Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house in Tucson on August 26, 2026. The student told the university’s police department that while she kissed one man consensually during their encounter, she does not remember agreeing to sexual activity. She reported difficulty swallowing and missing clothing upon waking, suggesting possible strangulation or assault. Following these allegations, the University suspended Sigma Phi Epsilon's activities indefinitely due to a substantial risk to community safety, citing unregistered parties and alcohol provision to minors on the night of the alleged attack.
