The IU Police Department received a report April 2 of domestic battery and strangulation that occurred Dec. 6, 2024, at fraternity Phi Sigma Kappa, according to an email from IUPD Public Information Officer Hannah Cornett.
IUPD received the report from the Title IX office. The individual involved did not report the case and it has been referred to university officials for review.
Phi Sigma Kappa is currently on cease and desist for endangering others, having received the designation March 28.
That cease-and-desist order was announced after IU’s Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association placed all Greek social events on suspension from March 5-24 to address community health and safety concerns.
Days after that announcement, five alleged hazing incidents (four of the incidents were confirmed by IUPD to have occurred at Greek houses) and one rape were reported to IUPD from the Office of Student Conduct, although these incidents occurred before the suspension of social events.
A list of resources is available here if you or someone you know has experienced sexual harassment or abuse.
