A Pennsylvania State University fraternity has been suspended for a year, for putting up a secret Facebook page featuring nude photos, drug deals and hazing rituals.

A former member of Kappa Delta Rho Penn State chapter walked into a police station and had notified authorities of the Facebook page that fraternity members were running. He thought running the page was a form of criminal conduct.

The page in question, which was accessible to both current members and the alumni, had 144 active members.

The State College Police Department issued a warrant on January 30^th. The document said a woman had seen a picture of herself topless on a Facebook page entitled "Covert Business Operations" while visiting the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity house last year.

Fraternity members took the page down after being threatened by the woman. 

The warrant also indicated that another page was created to replace the one previously taken down --- this time, it was called "2.0." The page was more daring as it contained photos of nude women who appear to have passed out, or caught in compromising sexual positions. 

John Gardner, of the State College Police Department described the uploaded photos as "disturbing." The women shown in the photos seem to be unaware that they were being photographed, he added.

The page did not only contain photos of nude women, but was also allegedly used for marijuana and cocaine trade.

Police said they are trying to  gather more photos and posts from "2.0," that may be connected to any criminal activity.  A criminal investigation is ongoing, but no arrests have yet been made.

The Kappa Delta Rho national headquarters had written a letter to its Penn State chapter, saying they have been suspended "for the most serious misconduct, most serious disregard" of fraternity rules and policies.

The Kappa Delta Rho fraternity is now conducting a full membership review and has vowed to cooperate with authorities in every possible way.

The Penn State Interfraternity Council meanwhile sent a cease and desist letter to the fraternity saying the evidence on Facebook is offensive and goes against the values of the University.

"We embrace the principle of respect for all persons and we will adhere to that principle in this matter," the council said.
