Montana State University Police Department Timely Warning
This Timely Warning is being issued in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act).
On September 28, 2023, MSU Police received two reports of sexual assault that occurred at the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity house on Friday, September 22, 2023. Other than the location, these two incidents appear unrelated and do not involve any of the same individuals.
For preventative purposes, MSU Police are reminding all members of the university community to be vigilant about personal safety at social events, trust their instincts, and look out for one another. If you have any information regarding these incidents, please contact MSU Police.

The 3:30 PM timestamp comes from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle's contemporaneous coverage, which noted the warning was sent 'on Sept. 28 at 3:30 p.m.'
MSU issued two separate Clery offenses as a single combined timely warning because the shared location (Pi Kappa Alpha house) created a continuing-threat nexus even though the incidents and individuals were unrelated
Warning was issued six days after both incidents occurred; the delay reflects the time required for reports to surface (September 23 and 25) and the university's assessment period
The concurrent fraternity probation (imposed Sept. 27) meant the house was already alcohol-free when the timely warning was distributed on Sept. 28
