FRAT IN ST. ANDREWS UNIVERSITY RAPPED FOR CASES OF RAPE, ASSAULT

The University of St. Andrews in Scotland, one the world's oldest universities, is embroiled in scandal after dozens of women alleged they were sexually assaulted or raped on its campus, with several claiming they were attacked by members of a controversial US-style fraternity known as Alpha Epsilon Pi, Rob Pichetta wrote for CNN late on July 13, 2020.

University officials said it will work with police to investigate scores of claims, made anonymously on an Instagram page entitled "St Andrews Survivors." Majority of the fraternity’s members are Jewish. 

The feed includes more than 20 allegations of rape, and several more allegations of sexual assault, physical assault and coercion by students at the prestigious university. 

Many of the allegations centered on one fraternity, the St Andrews chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi -- a popular US-based student group that has also faced several allegations and police investigations into sexual misconduct at some of its US chapters.

The St Andrews-based branch of the frat has suspended several of its members following the allegations. Students including Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge have attended St Andrews, which is the third-oldest university in the English-speaking world and regularly ranks near the top of global rankings of higher education facilities.
