After drug bust, fraternity investigates Columbia chapter

Another two students were released on bail Thursday in the aftermath of an on-campus drug bust that led to the temporary suspension of three fraternity chapters and has made national headlines this week.

Five undergraduates were arrested early morning on Tuesday after a five-month investigation found that they were selling thousands of dollars worth of drugs—including LSD, cocaine, MDMA, and Adderall—out of fraternity houses and dorm rooms. All five pled not guilty.

The University placed three fraternities—Alpha Epsilon Pi, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Psi Upsilon—on interim suspension Wednesday night, ordering them to cease all activities pending further review.

On Thursday, Chris Coles, CC ’12 and Jose Stephan Perez (known as Stephan Vincenzo), CC ’12, were released on bail. Coles was confirmed to have returned to campus Thursday evening.

Perez’s attorney said he would not comment on the case until next week, and Coles’ attorney could not be reached for comment.
