Three days after UTC’s Greek Life pause ended, campus police received a report of a possible drink spiking at an off-campus fraternity party.
The alleged victim, a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga student, told officials of suddenly blacking out at a Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity party Friday evening, according to a statement released by the school’s Department of Public Safety, adding that around 30 minutes later, a friend found the victim in a room.
According to the department, a medical evaluation determined the victim had ingested a strong opioid medication.

Students at UTC resumed Greek Life activities Wednesday. Officials said the ban, which was originally set to lift two days later, was intended to give officials time to review policies, strengthen risk management practices and communicate expectations to fraternity and sorority members. The moratorium ended early because the university had completed its work ahead of schedule, officials said.
