A former Cornell student, identified only as Jane Doe, filed a civil lawsuit alleging she was drugged and gang-raped by seven fraternity members at an on-campus house in October 2024. The suit, filed nearly two years later, names the seven men, Cornell University, and the sorority she previously belonged to, accusing the school of failing to protect her.
