NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The fraternity at the center of a controversial Rolling Stone article describing a culture of sexual violence at the University of Virginia has been reinstated after city police could not confirm an allegation that rape occurred at that fraternity’s house.
The Rolling Stone article described in graphic detail an alleged gang rape at the Phi Kappa Psi house.
In a statement Monday, the university said Charlottesville police told the university their investigation has not revealed any substantive basis to confirm the allegation.
The article led to a temporary suspension of fraternities and sororities’ social activities by the university. Phi Kappa Psi became the first fraternity to be reinstated after it agreed to new rules, including some that govern how alcohol is distributed at parties.
