Cornell has de-recognized Sigma Alpha Epsilon for at least five years.
(LaneSig and Kevin, please note for your lists, thanks.)

Edited to add address for Sigma Alpha Epsilon's statement on its HQ site:

Back ot the original post:
The house must be vacated by March 31, 2011, according to the campus student paper:

Excerpt:

The University has withdrawn its recognition of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity for at least the next five years, following the Feb. 25 death of George Desdunes ’13, according to a statement*released Friday from Vice President of Student and Academic Services Susan Murphy ’73. All SAE members must vacate their fraternity house by March 31.

The University found that Desdunes, who was a brother at SAE, was provided alcohol “while in the care of certain members and associate members” of SAE and became incapacitated, Murphy stated.

“Even though the members and associate members recognized the condition Desdunes was in, they failed to call for medical care. He subsequently died,” she said. . . .
