Reported cases, state by state

Choose your state to see fraternities, private schools and colleges where sexual assault, drugging, hazing or abuse by staff or clergy has been reported in the news, in court or by officials. Every entry links to its source.

Most reported schools

What you can report

If any of this happened to you

Sexual assault

Rape, unwanted touching, or any sexual contact you didn't agree to, including when you were too drunk or high to consent.

Drugging

Being given a drink or substance without knowing, or blacking out after one or two drinks and waking up confused or hurt.

Hazing

Forced drinking, beatings, sexual humiliation or degrading "traditions" during rush, pledging or initiation.

Staff misconduct

Inappropriate touching or sexual contact by a house director, chapter advisor, coach, professor or any other adult staff member who was supposed to be in charge.

This is for women and men, members and guests, students and non-students. It doesn't matter whether it happened last weekend or years ago, or whether you reported it at the time.

Who can be held responsible

It's rarely just one person

Fraternity cases often involve several parties who each had a duty to keep people safe. A lawyer looks at all of them.

The members

The people who assaulted, drugged or hazed you, and those who helped or covered it up.

The chapter

The local fraternity that hosted the party, served the alcohol or ran the initiation.

The national fraternity

National organizations set rules, collect dues and are supposed to supervise their chapters.

The university

Schools must respond properly to reports under Title IX. A poor response can be its own claim.

Bars & venues

Places that over-served alcohol or hosted the event can share responsibility.

One example: a September 2026 lawsuit over an alleged assault at a Cornell University fraternity names the university, the local chapter, the national fraternity organizations, seven members, sorority organizations and a local bar. These are allegations in a lawsuit and haven't been proven in court.

Your options

A legal claim is separate from everything else

A civil claim is separate from a police report or a school complaint. You don't need one to do the other.

Civil

Bring a legal claim

A civil case can hold people and organizations responsible and pay for therapy, medical bills, lost school time and more. This is what we help with.

At school

File a Title IX report

Your school can investigate and discipline students and chapters, and can offer protections like no-contact orders and class changes.

Criminal

Report to police

Police and prosecutors decide whether to bring criminal charges. A criminal case can put someone in jail, but it doesn't pay you for what you lost.

How it works

What happens after you reach out

  1. Leave your number

    Just your name and phone. No details needed. Initials are fine.

  2. We call you privately

    Our team calls at a time that works for you, listens, and checks your state's deadlines and who may be responsible.

  3. You decide

    You hear your options in plain language. If you want to go forward, you'll get a written agreement first. If not, that's the end of it.

Deadlines are real, and they vary by state

How long you have depends on your state, whether you were under 18, and who the claim is against. For adults it can be as short as one to three years in some states, and longer or with no limit in others. A lawyer can tell you exactly where you stand.

Questions people ask

Before you reach out

I was drinking. Does that mean I can't do anything?

No. Being drunk or high doesn't mean you agreed to anything. Someone who was too intoxicated to consent couldn't consent. Many cases involve alcohol, and the people who served it can share responsibility.

Will my name be made public?

Your report to us is confidential. If you file a lawsuit, many courts allow survivors to use a pseudonym such as "Jane Doe" or "John Doe." A lawyer can explain how it works in your state.

Do I need a police report or criminal charges?

No. A civil claim is separate. Many survivors never go to police, and cases can move forward even when no one was charged.

It happened years ago. Is it too late?

Maybe not. Some states have long deadlines or none at all, especially if you were under 18. Some have reopened old claims for a limited time. The only way to know is to ask.

Is this only for women?

No. Men and boys are assaulted at fraternities too, often during hazing. Many don't call it assault at first. If something sexual happened that you didn't want, it counts.

What does it cost?

The review is free. If you have a case, attorneys in these cases usually work on contingency, which means no fee unless money is recovered for you. You'll get the terms in writing before anything starts.

Will the fraternity or my school find out I contacted you?

No. Contacting us is confidential. Nothing is shared with anyone unless you decide to move forward and agree to it.
