Mental Health Support & Suicide Prevention
Mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health. At Michigan State University we are dedicated to the health, safety and well being of all our members, students, and staff. If you, or anyone you know, is a possible danger to themselves or others, there are local and national resources. Michigan State Universality Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) is an on campus support center located in Olin Health Center. More information about on-campus resources can be found at caps.msu.edu.

Hazing Prevention
At Michigan State University, Fraternity & Sorority Life is rooted in values of safety, respect, and personal development. Hazing has no place in our community and is strictly prohibited by university policy, Michigan state law (Garret’s Law, MCL 750.411t), and federal legislation under the Stop Campus Hazing Act.
MSU is committed to transparency and prevention through education, accountability, and support. We maintain clear policies, reporting procedures, and prevention programs to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all students.

Office of the University Ombudsperson
- 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.
No Excuse for Sexual Assault
Fraternity & Sorority Life at Michigan State University has taken a stand against sexual assault. As a partner of the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives, Fraternity & Sorority Life is helping to spread the word that there is no excuse for sexual assault. Through a publicity campaign and community events, we hope to bring awareness to this issue and empower our members to prevent it. For more information, click here.
Our Fraternity & Sorority Community has continued to commit itself to Sexual Assault Prevention by partnering with the Prevention, Outreach and Education Department team to take part in Greeks Take the Lead. This initiative includes interactive discussions about safety and education on topics surrounding Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence and creating a safer community here at Michigan State.
