Brown University has removed the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity from campus for at least four years for hosting an unregistered party where attendees said they’d been slipped date-rape drugs.
The sanction imposed Monday comes down hard on the fraternity, but fails to charge any individuals with drug offenses. The fraternity denies any of its members supplied gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a common date-rape drug, during an October party. A Brown spokesman confirmed on Tuesday that the Ivy League school hasn’t singled out anyone, but would not comment further.

“Sexual assault is a problem nationwide, not just in fraternities,” Shawn Collinsworth, national executive director for Phi Psi, told The Huffington Post. “[But ] we work hard every day at educating our members on this issue.”
