The article (above) reports that police shut down a party that about 250 people were attending at the Beacon Street townhouse of MIT's Delta Upsilon chapter. Long lines of people waiting to get in reportedly prompted neighbors to call the police. Besides underage drinking, the article reports on alleged fire/safety code violations.
A comment -- the article uses the word "frat" fairly often. I think this may be a case of the Boston Herald's writing for its audience; isn't it still the "downmarket" paper in Boston, while the Globe is the more upscale one?

LauraLaylin's right - the Globe also uses the same term. It doesn't have anything to do with the audience.
As far as what happened - Beacon Street is an affluent area of Boston, and anytime something like that happens (line outside the door, loud party-goers), the police will be there. They actually have a good house (I was at a party there one summer during college), so I'm surprised they let the line get that out of control.
