(State College) — Penn State has suspended a fraternity after a report of sexual assault that allegedly occurred there on Jan. 15.
The university said in a statement Wednesday that the Office of Student Conduct has placed the Phi Sigma Delta Sigma chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity on “interim suspension” while the Office of Sexual Misconduct Prevention and Response and State College Police investigate.
According to a Timely Warning report from the university, a female, who is reported to be a student, disclosed to a third party that she was sexually assaulted by four fraternity brothers at the fraternity, located at 240 E. Prospect Ave. in State College.
Penn State Police received the report online Tuesday.
The university says that during the suspension, the fraternity has lost privileges of student organizations including membership activities, participation in university-wide functions and hosting social events. The fraternity’s national organization has been notified and is cooperating.
Anyone with information about this alleged assault is asked to contact State College Police.
