The fraternity at the center of a story about campus rape has filed a $25M defamation suit against Rolling Stone Magazine and writer Sabrina Erdely on Monday. The The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity filed suit in response to the now-discredited story "A Rape on Campus: A Brutal Assault and Struggle for Justice at UVA."

"Rolling Stone published the article with reckless disregard for the truth," it said.

The suit said that the magazine and writer had an agenda and wanted to "advance a narrative" about sexual violence on campus, regardless of whether it was true or not.

The story was published November of 2014 and claimed a female student named "Jackie" was gang-raped by a campus fraternity in 2012.

The story caused a national furor and sparked demonstrations at the school about 100 miles (160 km) southwest of Washington. The Phi Kappa Psi house was vandalized and the school shut down fraternity and sorority activities for the rest of the semester.

The magazine retracted the story in December 2014 after other media outlets questioned the truth of the story and its own internal investigation found there were discrepancies in Jackie's account of events. The magazine admitted it never sought comment from the men who were accused of gang raping Jackie.

The police were also unable to find any evidence that backed up Jackie's story.

A review of the story by the Columbia University School of Journalism commissioned by Rolling Stone found in April that the magazine failed to follow basic journalistic safeguards.

Rolling Stone is also being sued by other victims of the story including a university administrator, and three graduates of the school who were members of the fraternity.
