UVA fraternity from Rolling Stone story has been reinstated
Phi Kappa Psi, the fraternity reportedly involved in a now-infamous Rolling Stone article about an alleged gang rape, has been reinstated at the University of Virginia.
UVA issued an official statement on Monday, saying an investigation by Charlottesville police "has not revealed any substantive basis to confirm that the allegations raised in the Rolling Stone article occurred at Phi Kappa Psi."
The UVA Phi Kappa Psi chapter voluntarily suspended itself after the article was published in Rolling Stone's November issue. The article has been called into question for inconsistencies.
