Summary of incident
According to a UW–Madison WiscAlert reported by The Daily Cardinal, a person reported they may have been drugged at an off-campus fraternity house overnight September 26–27, 2026 and may have been groped while dancing, which police described as fourth-degree sexual assault; the person also reported being fondled at two separate fraternity houses. Madison police responded, but the reporting person did not identify a possible suspect or the fraternity and chose not to pursue an investigation, and police considered the case closed. No fraternity or suspect is publicly identified in the cited reporting. These are allegations, not findings, and no arrest or charge has been reported.
