Penn State frat suspended over Facebook page with nude pics

    A fraternity at Penn State University has been suspended as police investigate allegations that members used a secret Facebook page to post photos of nude women, some of whom appeared to be sleeping or passed out.

    According to a copy of a State College police warrant obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, a former member of the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity came to authorities and told them about the page. The former member also turned over printouts from the page on a computer thumb drive.

    Police say some Facebook posts also related to hazing and drug deals.

    Police say the investigation is ongoing to determine who made the posts.
