We got our hands on the search warrant. It says several members of this fraternity are accused of taking pictures of women, mostly nude while sleeping or passed out, and sharing those photos online.
State College police said a tip came in informing them of two private Facebook pages created and run by members of the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity. According to the search warrant, the first page "Covert Business Transactions" was shut down after a victim allegedly discovered it, but according to the search warrant, a second page titled "2.0" was made in its place. Police said this is where members allegedly shared photos of drug sales, hazing and photos of unsuspecting victims - mostly women - partially naked. "It appears they were passed out or sleeping," said Lt. Keith Robb of the State College police.
Police said the page had nearly 150 members, some current students, others alumni, but because the page is private, all members were invited to join. During the investigation, police said they got warrants and searched several computers and the Facebook page, but they said everything was already wiped clean. But police did obtain about 20 photos for evidence when it was first discovered. "We have some printed out images from that account," said Robb.
Now they've teamed up with the Penn State Office of Student Conduct and the IFC. A statement from the IFC says: "In response to the discovery of the two Facebook pages allegedly hosted by Kappa Delta Rho, the chapter was immediately placed on full chapter suspension by Penn State's Interfraternity Council." It goes on to say: "Upon completion of all investigation into this matter, Kappa Delta Rho will be summoned by the IFC to undergo a conduct review session." We reached out to the Penn State Office of Student Conduct several times Monday, but they did not return any of those phone calls. We'll continue to follow this story. Stay with 6 News.
