Sexual assault · Theta Chi; Delta Tau Delta
About two dozen women alleged in Title IX lawsuits that they were sexually assaulted by former EMU students, including at the Theta Chi and Delta Tau Delta fraternity houses and a Sigma Kappa sorority house, and that the university mishandled their reports. Three former students faced criminal charges.
Status: Alleged in civil lawsuits; Theta Chi, Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Kappa settled in 2022, and the university reportedly agreed to pay $6.85 million in 2024 without confirming terms.
Response: EMU settled all of the related Title IX lawsuits in 2024, calling it an 'amicable resolution'; Alpha Sigma Phi cut ties with EMU after the allegations surfaced.
