Sad, but probably not entirely unexpected news:
See article on local newspaper's site:

Excerpts from article:
Members of Penn State's Alpha Upsilon Chapter of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity must move out of their house by March 7.
The chapter, which has been at Penn State since 1888, will keep its charter and return to Penn State when the national fraternity deems appropriate, said MacGregor Hill, director of operations and Education for Beta Theta Pi.
"Current members will receive early alumni status," Hill added. "When they graduate they'll have the full honors and privileges of the fraternity, but while they're at Penn State, they can't acts as a group."
The chapter . . . received an interim suspension on Feb. 11.
The chapter is being disbanded after showing "a disregard for previously imposed sanctions placed upon its membership," Hill said. . . .
