Fraternities have been in the news a lot lately…negatively. This incident, involves a frat at Penn State University that secretly exposed women in their facebook group page.
According to Mashable,
A fraternity at Penn State University has been suspended as police investigate allegations that members used a private, invitation-only Facebook page to post photos of nude and partly nude women, some apparently asleep or passed out.
A former member of Kappa Delta Rho at the university’s flagship campus in State College tipped police off to the page.
The ex-member also provided authorities with printouts from the page.
Police said anyone who posted the photos could face arrest on charges that include invasion of privacy.
Some of the postings involved nude women in “sexual or embarrassing positions,” the warrant reads. “It appears from the photos provided that the individuals in the photos are not aware that the photos had been taken.”
Penn State’s Intrafraternity Council issued a statement confirming that the Kappa Delta Rho had been suspended and said the fraternity would eventually be summoned to the council for full review of its conduct.
The national leadership of Kappa Delta Rho suspended the chapter for the remainder of the semester pending a membership review. The leaders are “committed to hold our brothers accountable for their actions,” said Joseph Rosenberg, the executive director.
Fraternities these days are getting out control.
