Northwestern University says it is investigating reports that at least three students were sexually assaulted and may have been drugged at fraternity houses in recent weeks, the university stated in a security alert.

In one incident, as many as four female students may have been given a date-rape drug during an event Jan. 21 at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house on the Evanston campus, according to a report submitted Feb. 2 to the school.

Two of those students believe they were then sexually assaulted, the school said.

On Feb. 3, another report submitted to the school states that a female student was assaulted Feb. 2 after an event at another, unspecified fraternity house. That attack may have involved a date-rape drug as well.

Northwestern’s Sexual Harassment Prevention Office is investigating the reports.

Anyone with information can contact campus police or the university’s Title IX coordinator at TitleIXCoordinator@northwestern.edu.
