Sex claims hit 3 Stony Brook frats

Three Stony Brook University fraternities were suspended after female students leveled anonymous sexual assault charges against five of their members via social media, the school newspaper reported.

The fraternities — Tau Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Sigma and Sigma Beta Rho — were accused via posts on Instagram and Twitter, according to the website of The Statesman.

Several posts alleged the Long Island college, part of the State University of New York system, did nothing when their complaints were brought to school officials.

“Within an hour, I can vividly remember 2 guys taking me upstairs to a room and I was not in the right state of mind,” wrote one of the posters. “There were another two guys waiting in the room already.”

A second poster left this message: “The rape culture ... is absolutely disgusting and all of Greek life is complicit.”

Both messages were left on an anonymous Instagram account. An email to Stony Brook for comment was not immediately returned Friday.

The creator of the account told The Statesman the inspiration came from a friend who said she was sexually assaulted on campus.

“I wanted to help more people feel that same comfort by giving them a safe platform where they could share their story without the fear of being known,” said the creator.

Last month, the school said it was committed to preventing sexual assault and was looking into the allegations. The same day, a petition calling for “justice for assault victims” and accountability for fraternities received more than 7,500 signatures.

The college has previously been accused of mishandling sexual assault allegations. Danielle Sutton, a former grad student, alleged in 2019 she was dropped from an internship after lodging a complaint about her supervisor.

Two other former students made similar allegations in 2017 and 2018.
