Penn State fraternity placed on interim suspension, 2 more under investigation
A Penn State fraternity was placed on interim suspension Friday and two more are under investigation for what a university spokesperson described as “allegations of misconduct.” Zeta Beta Tau, 429 E. Hamilton Ave., is on interim suspension while facing allegations of what Penn State characterized as “serious misconduct.” Delta Sigma Phi, 508 Locust Lane, and Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, 403 Locust Lane, each lost organizational privileges Oct. 6 to host or co-host registered social events. They are also prohibited from conducting new member education. A Penn State spokesperson said the university put those interim measures in place while it investigates “allegations of misconduct at these organizations.” Details about the allegations were not released. Zeta Beta Tau joined Delta Upsilon, 229 Locust Lane, as fraternities on interim suspension. The latter received that discipline in mid-August following an investigation into an off-campus cocaine trafficking ring that drew national attention. The university may place frats and sororities under interim action when it is necessary to “address a threat to the health or safety of any person, a threat to property, or a disruption of or interference with the normal operations of the University.” A look at suspended Penn State fraternities Five Penn State
