Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday has announced charges against 14 current and former Penn State University students linked to a coordinated and highly-profitable cocaine trafficking ring. The operation reportedly functioned in 2023 and 2024, primarily distributing the drug to other students at the university.
Authorities stated that the trafficking ring operated out of two off-campus fraternity houses, Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi. At these locations, the drug was cut and packaged, with some fraternity pledges reportedly forced to perform these tasks. As a result of the investigation, Delta Upsilon has been placed on interim probation.
The accused individuals face various charges, including conspiracy and felony corrupt organizations. State officials allege that the students used the fraternity houses as bases to package the cocaine before selling it to their peers.
