Chi Phi fraternity placed on interim suspension pending investigation

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – On Oct. 27, Penn State Student Affairs has placed the Alpha Delta Chapter of Chi Phi fraternity on interim suspension while its Office of Student Conduct investigates multiple allegations of serious misconduct. Chi Phi’s national organization has been notified and is partnering with Student Conduct staff.

The interim suspension is intended to minimize continuing risks while a full investigation is conducted. Conduct sanctions, up to and including suspension, may result depending on the outcome of the student conduct process.

During the interim suspension, Chi Phi loses all privileges otherwise accorded to recognized student organizations at Penn State, including membership recruitment, new member activities, participation in University-wide functions, and hosting social events.
