Northwestern suspends fraternity events as school investigates drugging allegations at two houses

Northwestern University suspended social events and recruitment activities at its fraternities for at least three weeks after multiple people filed reports with the school alleging they were drugged at two fraternity houses last week on its campus outside Chicago. The university said it's investigating the reports.

"Let us be clear: The health, safety and well-being of our students remain our top priority and we are taking these allegations very seriously," Mona Dugo, the school's assistant vice president for wellness, and Bruce Lewis, senior associate vice president for safety and security, said in a crime notice posted online.

The school said it received separate reports from an unspecified number of individuals Friday alleging they were drugged without their consent at a gathering at an address in Evanston, Illinois, home to the school's main campus. On Saturday, the school received a similar report from someone alleging they were drugged Friday night at a gathering at a different Evanston address.
