Secret sorority at Penn State escapes sanctions after deadly frat party, report says

The group is known as Trilolgy, and it's a secret sorority at Penn State unaffected by sanctions and scrutiny after a February fraternity party turned deadly.

Some of the 100 women in that secret sorority were present at the frat party where 19-year-old Tim Piazza died after a night of hazing, forced to drink excessively and end up with a blood-alcohol level four times Pennsylvania's legal limit for driving.

The sophomore engineering student was trying to get around two of the Trilogy members when at about 10:45 p.m. he fell, head first, down the stairs.

While Penn State administrators permanently banned the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and a grand jury criminally charged 18 men in connection with Piazza's death, the secret sorority won't be subjected to the university's additional rules this fall, according to a report from The Daily Beast.
