The Cornell 7: Inside the Chi Phi Frat House Case

A 20-year-old Cornell student says she walked into a Chi Phi party on the night of October 19, 2024, and did not walk out the same. In a lawsuit filed nearly two years later, the woman identified only as Jane Doe alleges she was plied with alcohol and ketamine inside the fraternity house and sexually assaulted by seven members of the chapter while she was unable to consent.

She reported the night to Cornell police weeks afterward. Tompkins County prosecutors reviewed her statement and closed the case without charges. That decision held until September 16, 2026, when Jane Doe sued Cornell, Chi Phi, her own sorority, and the seven men, accusing the university and law enforcement of failing her.
