May 1, 2026 - Sexual Assault (Off-Campus Fraternity) On 05/01/2026, NDSU Police received a third-party report of a sexual assault that was said to have occurred during the early morning hours of 05/01/2026 at an off-campus fraternity house. No suspect description is available at this time. This notice is being shared for awareness and Clery Act compliance, because the information was received through a third-party report, additional details are limited. The reporting individual has been offered resources and options. Sexual assault is never the victim’s fault; responsibility lies with the person(s) who committed the assault. The NDSU Police would also like to provide some basic safety reminders for members of our community to keep in mind: Go with trusted friends and check in with each other throughout the night, leave together when possible. Watch your drink and do not accept open drinks from others; if you feel unusually impaired, ask a trusted friend for help and get to a safe place. Trust your instincts, if something feels off, leave and contact help. If you see someone who may be in trouble, check in, stay with them, and call for assistance. Keep your phone charged and have a plan to get home safely (ride share, sober driver, trusted contact) People’s safety and well-being at NDSU are of paramount importance to the University. If you or someone you know has been the victim of a crime, please seek help and resources from: University Police 701-231-8998 https://www.ndsu.edu/police_safety/universitypolice/ Sexual Assault Prevention and Advocacy https://www.ndsu.edu/equity/resources/sexual_assault_prevention_and_advocacy Equal Opportunity and Title IX Compliance Office https://www.ndsu.edu/equity/resources/sexual_and_gender_based_harassment_and_sexual_misconduct_resource_guide Reading about sexual assault can be difficult.

How the first alert is built

To check this alert, SuperGrok Heavy 4.5 (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.

    Final assessment

    NDSU Police is named as the receiving and publishing authority.

    Who is sending the alert and who is responding. People act faster on a message from a clearly identifiable, credible sender, such as a named department, the police, or a branded alert system, than on an anonymous notice. A branded signature counts.

    Final assessment

    sexual assault is a specific named offense in the title and body.

    What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    an off-campus fraternity house is a named place.

    Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

    Final assessment

    The notice gives University Police 701-231-8998 and other resource contacts.

    The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    The offense name is the hazard; there is no extra severity language such as life-threatening.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
