Penn State Fraternity Cocaine Ring: 14 Charged, Pledges Allegedly Involved

A Penn State cocaine trafficking case has led to 14 charges, tied to two off-campus fraternities (Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi). The investigation alleges pledges helped cut and package drugs for distribution to students, with Agostino Abbatiello and Thomas Robinson identified as main suppliers and operations extending to Philadelphia and New York. Fourteen defendants include mostly Penn State students, plus the father of a student charged with tampering; Delta Upsilon has been placed on interim suspension while Penn State investigates, and Sigma Chi is noted as not recognized by the university.
