Police investigating reported rape at Sigma Pi fraternity

Police are investigating allegations of a rape at the Sigma Pi Fraternity House, 1525 E. Drachman St., reported early Saturday morning.

A UA student contacted police and said a man had sex with her against her will at the house, said Sgt. Eugene Mejia, University of Arizona Police Department spokesman. Mejia said he could not release names or say if the man was a UA student or a fraternity member.

The investigation is still underway so police could not release any more information.

The UAPD daily report stated that an alleged rape was reported at the fraternity and a follow-up is required.

"Our main interest is fully investigating the matter to make sure all witnesses come forward and all of the evidence is gathered," Mejia said. "Any premature release of the information could interfere with the investigation."

Sigma Pi Fraternity president and members would not comment on the allegations.
