Ivy League fraternity faces suspension and vandalism following drug-fueled attack allegations.

A fraternity at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, was suspended following an alleged sexual assault on Oct. 25.

An individual reported being sexually assaulted and coerced into consuming drugs at an Ivy League school, resulting in the temporary suspension of Chi Phi this week, according to a Nov. 8 alert from the Cornell University Police Department.

According to police, the individual reported the incident on Nov. 8.

Neither Cornell nor Chi Phi responded to inquiries from Planet Chronicle Digital, but police confirmed in the Nov. 8 crime alert that the fraternity where the incident occurred on Edgemoor Lane in Ithaca had been suspended "effective immediately."

The Cornell Daily Sun initially reported on the temporary suspension of Chi Phi fraternity, followed by the revelation that Riot Moon vandalized the fraternity house after the news broke.

Riot Moon informed the paper that it was launching a campaign against fraternities as the primary perpetrators of sexual violence on campus.

In a Tuesday op-ed titled "Ban the Frats," the editorial board of the paper stated that the incident at Cornell is a common occurrence for students there.

"The root cause of the problem at Cornell is the deeply ingrained misogyny and hierarchy within fraternity organizations. The only solution to this issue is a complete and permanent ban on frats, followed by the establishment of democratic, inclusive spaces that prioritize safety and respect for all students."
