UA Police Investigate Sexual Assault Report at Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity House
The University of Arizona Police Department is investigating a reported sexual assault at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house, with a UA sorority student alleging she was assaulted by two men during the early morning hours of August 26. One accused man told detectives in a recorded call that contact was consensual and denied a second person was present; no arrests or formal charges have been filed, and a search warrant was obtained for surveillance footage from the house. The chapter was already on probation through May 2027 following a July hazing investigation, and UA Dean of Students Chrissy Lieberman temporarily suspended fraternity activities earlier this month citing an "egregious volume and severity" of open misconduct investigations.
