“From their earliest days to today, these organizations have made a powerful impact in Michigan and beyond as champions of civic engagement, community service, equality, and excellence,” she said. “Now, members of the participating fraternities and sororities can display their membership with pride.”
Under the Michigan Vehicle Code, drivers must be a member of an organization to order their affiliated plate. Members of the five participating fraternities and sororities can order a specialized plate by downloading the Application for Special Organization License Plate form. The plates cost $25 and cannot be personalized.
Collectors plates are also available to the general public for $10 and can be personalized, however they are for display only and can’t be used for vehicle registration.
