100 Students Arrested - which fraternity is involved?

[idkk]

As of this morning Delta Sigma Phi is also on interim suspension (not related to the drug bust)....that brings the total of suspended IFC fraternities to 9 (KA and Sigma Pi were on suspension prior to the drug bust)....

Some of you guys are batshit crazy. Wouldn't it be nice to have a discussion without nitpicking every little thing and being completely snarky for no reason?

I'm over this, I don't argue on online forums about miniscule details. Peace out.

THANK YOU FOR THE RESPONSE!!!! Currently the SDSU IFC has half of its membership on suspension. I hope this does not cause a negative reaction to Fall RUSH.

State is a HUGE commuter school. MANY of their students are pulling double duties--like quite a few of them still are with the military (I just don't know exactly what the military calls it--but it is like active duty ).

Or some students have been kicked out due to academic probation lapsing. And EVERYONE is C.Y.A.ing and getting their stories straight. It will be a looney bin when it gets to trial...

Pure speculation on my part, but there will probably be no trial unless there is some figurehead/scapegoat.

Lots of fines paid, some suspended sentences, maybe probation, possibly spending weekends in a private lockup facility, drug assessment screenings, etc.

It sounds like State has some free workers in the orange vests to clean up the nearby sidestreet or highway...

Two thought of as key players in SDSU drug ring plead not guilty
SAN DIEGO – Two men identified by prosecutors as key players in a drug ring operating in and around San Diego State University pleaded not guilty to drug charges in Superior Court Thursday.
Kenneth Ciaccio was “a major source of supply on campus” and Thomas Watanapun was “a major source of anything” including cocaine, marijuana and ecstasy tablets, Deputy District Attorney Shawn Tafreshi told Judge David M. Szumowski.

Seven People Arraigned In SDSU Drug Probe

SAN DIEGO -- A 19-year-old San Diego State fraternity member described as a major source for cocaine dealers on campus pleaded not guilty Thursday to four felony charges.

Kenneth Ciaccio was one of dozens of SDSU students arrested during the yearlong probe called "Operation Sudden Fall."

Ciaccio, a Theta Chi member, was ordered jailed in lieu of $150,000 bail.

A total of 125 people were arrested in the sweep, which netted cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine and other drugs, according to the District Attorney's Office. Ninety-five of those arrested were SDSU students, according to prosecutors. On Wednesday, SDSU President Stephen Weber said only 33 SDSU students had been arrested and suspended.

San Diego State students plead not guilty in major drug bust

The suspected leader of a drug trafficking ring was among seven students who pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges stemming from an undercover operation at San Diego State University that netted more than 100 arrests.
Kenneth Ciaccio, an honors student at the 34,000-student school, is accused of selling cocaine twice to government agents. He faces up to six years and four months in prison in convicted.
"Ciaccio was identified early as a main source," Deputy District Attorney Shawn Tafreshi said during the court hearing.
Ciaccio and six others pleaded not guilty to selling an array of drugs including marijuana, Ecstasy, hallucinogenic mushrooms and cocaine. All but one remained in custody in lieu on bonds ranging from $10,000 to $150,000 for Ciaccio.

Welp, yaay for aggressive drug prosecutions!!!

Wanted to cite your comment and make my own: Ciaccio was apparently a known gang-member from a Pomona gang, who came into (could one say, infiltrated) Theta Chi - for his purposes. In these days of "no hazing, no interviews, accept everybody, no discrimination, no friggin judgement on anybody" - could this not be unreasonably forseen? The Greek System, in some circumstances might be seen as ripe-for-the-taking by bad-actors. I'm not sure we've seen this before, but it will certainly be something we need to look for in the future. Just my opinion.

Are you suggesting that back in the "good old days" of hazing, interviews, and discrimination that there were no fraternity brothers dealing drugs?

Gang member or not, rumor at this point, he was a student, an honors student, meaning that by someone's standard he was above average. The idea that he "infiltrated" a fraternity for the sole purpose of selling drugs suggests a level of idiocy among the brothers . Because you know, accepting drug dealers is a result of political correctness, HQ probably sent out a memo.
