Police are still searching for the man who sexually assaulted a female student outside the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity house on Oct. 4 between 1:30 and 2 a.m., said Syracuse University's Department of Public Safety Chief Tony Callisto.
The victim met the man at a social event inside the house, and the man forced her outside and engaged in nonconsensual sexual activity immediately outside the house, Callisto said.
The victim described the man as white, late teens, 5 feet, 4 inches to 5 feet, 6 inches tall, thin build, brown hair that was "sort of spiked," and was last seen wearing a maroon-colored shirt, possibly a polo or long-sleeved shirt "with the sleeves rolled up." The suspect's first name may be "Matt," Callisto said.
"First and foremost, be aware of your surroundings," Callisto said. "If you are going to be going out, go out with your friends, and make sure you stay with your friends."
The victim reported the sexual assault on Oct. 4 to Syracuse Police Department, said Sgt. Tom Connellan.
DPS sent a public safety notice to the university community Friday.
Connellan declined to provide details on the investigation.
Calls to Eddie Banks-Crosson, SU's director of fraternity and sorority affairs, and Brian Smith, Interfraternity Council president, were not immediately returned Friday afternoon.
