Events Policy
Fraternity and Sorority Life at Michigan State University (MSU) recognizes the importance of the connection between social, service, and philanthropic events, and we support your efforts safely implementing these focus areas into the operation of your chapter. As students continue to seek membership in fraternities and sororities on our campus, it is important that the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life establish a system of accountability to ensure the success of the organizations for which it has oversight.
Please review the Fraternity & Sorority Life Events Policy here.
