A former Cornell student has filed a sweeping lawsuit against Cornell University, Chi Phi fraternity, and seven individual members, alleging she was coerced into consuming drugs and sexually assaulted at the chapter house in October 2024. The legal filing also names Tri-Delta sorority entities and Moonies Bar & Nightclub. The complaint alleges that members pressured the plaintiff to ingest ketamine before subjecting her to an hourslong assault. An attorney representing one of the accused students has denied the claims, stating the defense holds evidence contradicting the lawsuit. The suit takes direct aim at Cornell’s administration, accusing the university of fostering an environment where sexual assault went unchecked and failing to protect its students. Court documents further allege that administrators offered the accused fraternity members the opportunity to mitigate disciplinary penalties by submitting essays. The plaintiff reported the assault to campus and local police in late 2024, leading to temporary suspensions for the chapter and the students involved. In the complaint, the former student condemned the administration’s institutional response and highlighted the painful lack of support she received in the aftermath.
