Phi Delta Theta Suspends Penn State Chapter

The Penn State campus paper reports:

Brief excerpts:

The Penn State chapter of Phi Delta Theta fraternity had its national charter suspended Friday and is no longer recognized by Penn State after violating an organizational rule regarding alcohol use, according to a fraternity statement.

. . . The fraternity . . . and its national organization are alcohol-free, said . . . Penn State's director of greek life.

However, during a home football game weekend in October, the fraternity's Province President . . . entered the house and saw students drinking alcoholic beverages . . . .

[the Province President] then contacted the national organization this fall about the incident, and the chapter's charter was suspended. . . .

. . . this suspension comes after the fraternity was issued a warning from its national chapter last fall when a video surfaced on YouTube.com showing alcohol in the house.

. . . Still, the fraternity remains hopeful that they will regain their charter. . . .
