Centre County DA Stacy Parks Miller announced these charges as a result of a grand jury investigation into student Tim Piazza's death from injuries he sustained when he fell down the steps at Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
Parks Miller will investigate these potential violations in response to defense attorneys who anonymously spoke to The Philadelphia Inquirer earlier this week and one of the same attorneys who she says described police evidence in an interview on local television the next day.
Fraternity Sigma Alpha Mu has been suspended for at least two years after violations that occurred during Parents Weekend.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says defense attorneys and "other sources who have spoken with the students" confirm members of the fraternity say they initially went to help Piazza when he fell.
The response addresses statements that administrators have not included student leaders in discussions on recent Greek regulations set by Penn State two weeks ago.
