Psi Upsilon has closed its chapter at Cornell. It appears from the article on the campus paper's site (July 6, 2008) that the chapter [B]may[//B] recolonize, (or re-activate, or whatever the correct terminology may be in this particular case) fairly soon.
Psi Upsilon continues to be recognized by the university, according to the report.

Brief excerpt from longer article:
In an attempt to protect the prosperity of the fraternity and the safety of its members, the alumni board of Psi Upsilon decided to shut down the fraternity until the board deems it fit. Though the members of the campus fraternity have been deactivated, the chapter maintains its official recognition in the eyes of the University.
“While Cornell University still recognizes Psi Upsilon as an active fraternity on campus, the alumni have de-activated all of its members,” said Travis Apgar, associate dean of students for fraternity and sorority affairs, in light of the recent events.
Mike Bergelson ’95, alumni president of the chapter, explained the alumni’s decision to temporarily suspend the fraternity.
“The principles of the fraternity are to foster intellectual and social environment,” Bergelson said. “While we don’t want to be too prescriptive, the alumni saw that a far too great emphasis was being placed on the social aspects and not the fraternity values of brotherhood, responsibility and democracy.” . . .
