Beta Theta Pi released a statement today on the chapter's website indicating the chapter has been temporarily suspended by both Penn State and the national Beta Theta Pi fraternity.

Emergency services were not contacted until 10:49 a.m. Friday morning -- nearly 12 hours after fraternity members said student Timothy Piazza fell down the basement steps during a party.
Timothy Piazza, a sophomore from Lebanon, NJ, passed away after injuries sustained from an alleged fall at Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
