Multiple public sexual assault allegations impacted the relationship between the two organizations, according to the Panhellenic president
UC Davis Panhellenic has dissociated from the UC Davis Interfraternity Council (IFC) fraternities effective immediately, citing issues of sexual assault culture.
Apeksha Kanumilli, a fourth-year psychology major and the president of UC Davis Panhellenic, said that the decision was made partly in response to a recent public sexual assault allegation but added that the problem has been going on for years.
“It felt like we were going in circles in terms of how we were dealing with [allegations] as they came up,” Kanumilli said. “We would do this separation thing on an individual basis, and then every time it happened we would be adding another chapter, so there needed to be something done on a broader level.”
