The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has declined to take up an appeal from a Superior Court ruling that said a trial judge lacked authority to bar the Pi Delta Psi fraternity from conducting business in Pennsylvania for a decade over a hazing death that occurred in the Poconos.

In a published May 23 opinion, a three-judge panel of the appeals court ruled 2-1 to affirm the trial court’s imposition of 10 years’ probation and a $112,500 fine for the fraternity, while vacating the portion of the sentence imposing the 10-year ban.
