Summary
Penn State placed Delta Upsilon on interim suspension after Pennsylvania's attorney general charged 14 people—mostly current or former students—in an alleged 2023-24 narcotics operation tied to two off-campus Greek groups.
The university said its student accountability office will investigate current students separately from the criminal case, with penalties that can reach permanent separation for individuals and organizations.
Sigma Chi was also named in the alleged operation, but Penn State said it is not a recognized organization and operates outside university oversight.
Student Affairs said it will add health, safety and hazing-prevention efforts in the opening weeks of the semester as the school cooperates with law enforcement.
