Pennsylvania State University has suspended a fraternity after a teenager died at an off-campus house over the weekend where members of the fraternity were believed to be present, university officials said Tuesday. The university said in a statement that it had temporarily suspended the Alpha Delta Chapter of the Chi Phi fraternity while the State College Police Department and the university investigated the 17-year-old’s death. The death occurred on Saturday night at a house on 522 West College Avenue in State College, Pa., that was not the fraternity’s official house. The teenager’s name was not released, but the university said in the statement that he was not a Penn State student and was only visiting the area. At around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, someone reported that the 17-year-old was unconscious and had shallow breathing, the State College Police Department said in a statement.
