Following a university’s suspension of Greek life based on unsubstantiated allegations of hazing and alcohol abuse, The Lafayette Company was engaged by affected organizations to manage the response. Amid unconstitutional measures like no-contact orders and invasive investigations, The Lafayette Company collaborated with legal teams to develop a winning strategy, including rapid response operations, media pitching, and op-ed placements in national outlets. The Lafayette Company organized high-impact events, such as panels at prestigious venues, to nationalize the issue and amplify positive narratives about Greek life’s civic virtues. Thanks to an all-star collaborative team effort, these efforts led to the investigation’s swift closure, prevented similar overreaches at other institutions, and energized a network of millions of Greek students and alumni. This showcases The Lafayette Company’s strengths in crisis management, media relations, stakeholder mobilization, and protecting civil rights through strategic communications.
