The University of Central Florida released several written complaints regarding “roofies” filed by women of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority to KnightNews.com Friday morning — about 60 hours after UCF Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Belinda Boston denied she had any.

“I don’t have a written complaint from KKG,” Boston sent in an email from her iPad Tuesday night, after KnightNews.com made a public records request to try and get to the bottom of rumors about some sort of Greek date rape drug game which had been swirling for weeks.
Boston did not immediately respond to an email from KnightNews.com expressing concern with her statement denying having a written complaint and seeking an explanation about why portions of the records were redacted, or blacked out.
The records show the allegations made by KKG stem from a social with the Delta Upsilon fraternity, which happened back on Feb. 10. The records include a letter from KKG Regional Director of Chapters Susan L. Pile to the UCF sorority members scolding them over the roofie scandal.
“I am embarrassed to hear of excessive drinking, possible drug use and inappropriate behavior by your members that occurred at a recent function,” Pile wrote.
KnightNews.com first broke the possibility of allegations against DU brothers last week when we did an update on Greek organizations in trouble. While UCF provided KnightNews.com information about DU being in trouble, a response sent on Boston’s behalf left out how KKG was in trouble.
The letter from the KKG national office strips the sorority of the right to have socials involving alcohol for the rest of the semester. It went on to say it will only allow two alcoholic social events in Fall if there are no further violations.
The KKG members accused Delta Upsilon brothers of playing a date rape drug drinking game, the documents show. The story has since picked up local media attention, and now UCF police and the Office of Student Conduct have both launched investigations, according to the reports.
Delta Upsilon brothers have denied they played any game with a date rape drug, and denied they had any such drug. There was no indication anyone — either a fraternity or sorority member — was hospitalized or severely intoxicated in the records KnightNews.com obtained.
We’re working to gather more information on what has become another scandal out of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and will post updates as we get them.
