A UO student reported that they were sexually assaulted Saturday, Nov. 2, during a party at the Pi Kappa Phi live-out house, 1186 Ferry Street. The student also reported that they believe this may be related to an earlier possible drink drugging incident at a Halloween party on Oct. 31, at the same location. 

A drink drugging incident was also reported at Lambda Chi Alpha live-out house, 669 E 15th Alley, from a party on Oct. 24. The report was received on Oct. 29. The party location was confirmed Nov. 1. 

There have been recent reports of drink drugging at parties over the past several weeks at off-campus locations. Information currently suggests that individuals are responsible. Fraternities are cooperating with the investigations.

These reported events are under investigation. If you have any information, contact the UO Police Department non-emergency number at 541-346-2919.

• Options for reporting and frequently asked questions about drugging are available at https://investigations.uoregon.edu/how-get-support.
• Information about university conduct actions and chapter status of fraternity and sorority organizations is available at https://dos.uoregon.edu/fsl-status. 

Safety tips for partying:

• Never leave your drink unattended and use caution when accepting drinks from others. 
• Call 9-1-1 for medical and law enforcement assistance if you think something unknown has been added to your drink. 
• Don’t accept an open drink. If you order a drink, watch the person open the bottle or mix your drink.
• Stay with friends, watch out for each other, and let others know where you will be.
  

No action or inaction by a crime survivor makes that person responsible for their victimization. Perpetrators are responsible for crimes and their effects.
