Delta Upsilon International says university not investigating ‘date rape’ drug use

Delta Upsilon Executive Director Justin Kirk released another statement Saturday regarding recent investigations into the fraternity’s University of Missouri chapter.

Earlier this week, ABC 17 News obtained records from university police and the Office of Student Conduct detailing incidents involving Delta Upsilon fraternity members, including allegations of “date rape” drug use.

“To clarify recent media reports, according to the university, there are no active university investigations into Delta Upsilon’s Missouri Chapter regarding the distribution or use of predatory drugs. The allegations that Fraternity associate members received pills to be used to incapacitate and rape women were rumors found to be unsubstantiated by the university. No formal charges were filed against the chapter. Such rumors are disgusting and egregious.”

Kirk said the university is only investigating the reports of members using racial slur involving the Legion of Black Collegians on Sept. 27-28 and alcohol violations from an event with other fraternities on Sept. 16.

ABC 17 News reached out to MU spokesperson Christian Basi for clarification Saturday afternoon, but have yet to hear back.

Kirk said Delta Upsilon International is working closely with the university on the open and active investigations.
