More than a dozen Penn State University students are accused of packaging and selling cocaine as part of a multistate drug operation.

Investigators said Abbatiello and Robinson were senior members of the off-campus fraternities Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon, respectively.

Sunday said the drugs were primarily packaged at the fraternity houses by both fraternity brothers and pledges. He also said some of the pledges cut and bagged cocaine as part of their initiation.

I'll be curious as the case moves forward if we have an actual situation of drug kingpins running cartel operations out of their fraternity houses as suggested. Or if this is the same kind of thing that's been going on for decades on and off campuses across the US. In either event, dealing out of the fraternity house is dumb and those campus chapters are over pretty much forever.

This is the biggest deal that is the smallest deal. If you think there aren't large-scale drug ops on every college campus with more than 25,000 undergrads...

(but yes, admittedly Penn State makes it a little more easy to laugh at since this isn't even the biggest criminal scandal for them in Q1 21st century).

It's notable that it's being run at a high level by the students directly rather than provided by outside dealers.

That it was being coordinated by students and then using pledges to package it up would make it a pretty big deal
