Third Penn State Fraternity Linked to Cocaine Trafficking

A member of Acacia fraternity at Penn State has been identified as part of an alleged cocaine trafficking operation involving two off-campus fraternity houses.

Kaden Howe, a member of Acacia, reportedly purchased cocaine from Mohammed Huraibi of Delta Upsilon on several occasions, initially for personal use and later in larger quantities intended for sale at his fraternity. As Huraibi distanced himself from the operation, Howe began sourcing cocaine directly from Thomas Robinson, another key figure in the drug ring.

Howe faces two misdemeanor charges related to drug possession. Acacia fraternity was placed on indefinite organizational suspension in May 2025 due to serious misconduct and hazing allegations. Despite this suspension, the fraternity continues to operate off-campus, raising concerns about high-risk behaviors among its members.
