VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — Vermillion police are investigating a report of vandalism at a fraternity house at the University of South Dakota.

The university says someone spray painted the words "We date rape" on the side of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house. Fraternity members saw the paint Sunday morning.

School and law enforcement authorities say it's unclear why the fraternity was vandalized.

Sgt. Isaac Voss tells KSFY-TV that Vermillion police have no information to suggest someone at the fraternity committed a sexual assault.

Director of fraternity and sorority life Laura Roof says there's "no reason" for the university to think it should investigate the fraternity.

Fraternity members have been since washed off most of the paint.
