Emory student reports rape on campus

An Emory University student said she was raped at a campus fraternity house early Sunday by two fellow students, the university confirmed Monday night.

The student told campus police the assault happened around 2:30 a.m. and that both of the suspects involved were acquaintances, Beverly Clark, Emory spokeswoman, said in an emailed statement. According to the student, the rape happened at the house belonging to the Gamma Upsilon chapter of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.

Emory police and Campus Life officials are investigating the incident, Clark said.

“Emory police executed a search warrant Sunday for the house at 15 Eagle Row to gather any potential evidence of the assault,” Clark said. “The investigation is still active.”

The alleged victim has been offered campus resources, including counseling, Clark said.
