Lawsuit alleges UChicago fraternity ignored safety protocols after Feb. 7 rape
A 19-year-old woman has sued the University of Chicago chapter and national headquarters of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, alleging she was raped during a party on Feb. 7 at their Hyde Park house. The lawsuit claims the fraternity failed to enforce safety policies, such as sober monitors, and that members blocked a friend from intervening. Chicago Police are investigating, and the national fraternity suspended the accused member. The case follows a separate assault report at a nearby fraternity house in October and amid national scrutiny over campus sexual misconduct.
