Greeks Take the Lead Logos

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.
Michigan State University is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs, services and activities. Accommodations for persons with disabilities may be requested by contacting a POE Prevention Specialist at gttl@msu.edu. Requests received will be honored whenever possible.

No, Greeks Take the Lead is a specialized training that is a different requirement from a SARV Prevention workshop or a Bystander Network workshop.
All members of Fraternity and Sorority Life are encouraged to attend workshops that are part of Greeks Take the Lead. If your chapter is a Registered Student Organization (RSO) you are required to attend a workshop to maintain your RSO status. If you're still unsure of your status or whether or not you need to attend, you may send an email to gttl@msu.edu to contact a POE Prevention Specialist.
Greeks Take the Lead is offering an array of workshops on different days and times to accommodate varying schedules. We encourage you to register as soon as possible, as workshops will close once they meet capacity. Do not wait until the last workshop is offered, as it will fill up quickly.
For the 2022-23 academic year, all general member sessions (except for the keynote session) will be recorded and shared virtually with fraternity and sorority members. Contact your chapter president for detailed instructions on how to engage with recorded sessions for credit on D2L.
Send a list of members who will be gone during programming to gttl@msu.edu as soon as possible so that your roster reflects who is in your chapter. If you fail to send in these names, this could compromise your RSO status.
Yes, two leaders from your chapter (most often, a President and a Risk Manager) must attend at least one of the special leadership trainings provided at the start of the Spring semester in order for your chapter to maintain or regain their RSO status.  Failure to attend these sessions compromises your chapter’s RSO status.
