Michigan State University is investigating Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity for alleged inappropriate behaviour after video showed members allegedly using drugs.

Michigan State University is investigating Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fraternity for what President Kevin Guskiewicz described as 'deeply concerning' allegations of inappropriate behaviour. Video circulating on social media allegedly shows members of the fraternity using illicit drugs and encouraging their use.

Guskiewicz announced the investigation in a letter to the campus community. At the university's request, SAE's national organisation has ordered the local chapter to cease and desist all chapter operations, including social gatherings, recruitment and activities, until further notice. MSU has initiated its own investigation into the alleged behaviour.

The fraternity is facing interim suspension for a pending investigation effective 1 November. According to MSU's Fraternity and Sorority Life webpage, SAE is also facing deferred loss of registration for physical violence, hazing and other prohibited conduct through the end of 2026, with probation on the same grounds. The fraternity faces additional deferred loss of registration through 5 May 2027 for 'other prohibited conduct'.
