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.
We as the Fraternity & Sorority Life staff send loving thoughts to all in the Fraternity and Sorority Life community here at Michigan State University. Violence and tragedy have struck our campus and community. There are no words we can say that would effectively detail the heartache we are all feeling. We hope you are close to friends and loved ones. The days ahead will be tough, and we will get through them together. The Fraternity and Sorority Life staff will do our absolute best to help you and your chapter access to the resources, support or care you may need.
University officials have been in contact with families and have confirmed that our valued friend/community member Brian Fraser has passed away as a result of their injuries. Please join us in sending your love and support to members of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity and all those who knew and loved Brian. We also ask that you keep Sigma Lambda Gamma International Sorority, Incorporated in your thoughts and prayers as we jointly hope for the speedy recovery of their sorority sister.
