Cocaine, Molly and Hazing: Inside Penn State’s Frat Drug Ring
TL;DR Summary
Federal authorities arrested 13 Penn State students from Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon for running a cocaine- and MDMA-fueled campus drug ring, trafficking from 'drug rooms' at frat parties, coercing freshmen to package drugs, and enforcing brutal hazing. The investigation spans 2023–2024 with trafficking traced to 2026; investigators say MDMA-heavy 'paint parties' were common, payments often through Venmo, and the fallout includes 14 fraternities being banned or suspended as the university grapples with hazing reforms sparked by the 2017 Timothy Piazza death.
