Welcome!
Since 1872, Michigan State University’s Fraternity and Sorority Community has been a thriving part of campus life. Joining a Fraternity or Sorority brings life long relationships, opportunities for personal and career growth, and a national network of alumni across the globe.
Hazing Information and Resources
Michigan State University is committed to providing a safe environment in which all students have the right to belong to student organizations without undergoing hazing as a right of entry. As such, it is the policy of the University that hazing is strictly prohibited. Hazing can result in irrevocable harm to students, their families, and the University community.
No student organization or individual student shall conduct nor condone hazing activities. Any group or individual responsible for hazing may be subject to disciplinary action, criminal prosecution, and/or civil prosecution.
For more information on hazing and how to report can be found here: https://ossa.msu.edu/hazing-information-and-resources
Anonymous reporting on hazing activities and resources can also be found here: https://hazingprevention.org/students
Anonymous Reporting
In some cases, a student one may want to report a concern anonymously. Michigan State University has implemented a telephone hotline including a web reporting feature to help maintain adherence to ethical practices. The purpose of the hotline is to provide an anonymous method to report known or suspected misconduct at Michigan State University. Misconduct related to the following areas can be reported through the hotline: fiscal, conflicts of interest, employment, medical/HIPAA, research, safety, athletics, discrimination/harassment, privacy, retaliation, and any other issue that does not fit another category. To visit the website, please go to the MSU Misconduct Hotline.
Greeks Take the Lead
The Greeks Take the Lead Program is a mandatory workshop series for all fraternity and sorority chapters that are currently registered student organizations (RSOs) or are hoping to become a RSO. The Greeks Take the Lead Program serves as a way to help fraternity and sorority students feel empowered by providing further education on how they can intervene and end sexual violence in their chapters and greater community. All chapter presidents and risk managers (or another leadership member, if your chapter does not have a risk manager) participate in leadership-based interactive training, and all general members are required to choose a workshop focused on a specialized topic.
The "Greeks Take the Lead" Program serves to:
- Educate MSU fraternity and sorority members to promote positive social change around gender-based violence in their communities.
- Shift attitudes, beliefs, behaviors and norms on topics pertaining to gender-based violence against MSU fraternity and sorority student populations in an effort to stregthen the culture of prevention and support in their communities.
- Build upon primary university-level prevention programming completed by MSU fraternity and sorority members to explore topics in gender-based violence specific to their experiences.
- Center equity in programmatic efforts so that they are relevant to and reflective of the experiences of various communities and identity groups in MSU fraternity and sorority life.
