Cornell University documented significant drug activity at the Chi Phi fraternity house before a student was allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted there — with campus cops making a drug bust just hours before the reported gang rape, and responding to a ketamine overdose a day before, records show.

Cornell University Police responded to Chi Phi at about 1:05 a.m. on Oct. 19, 2024, and made a drug-related arrest during the roughly 40-minute response, referring an individual to the school’s Office of Student Conduct, according to the department’s Daily Crime Log.
