We salute Michigan State University with personalized license plates on our vehicles. Each member's plate says something about MSU, or why they are loyal Spartan fans. Our purpose has remained unchanged since we began in 1979... Spartan camaraderie. We collect no dues. We exist simply for some good-natured Spartan fun. Our first meeting in 1979 consisted of just seven, but today we have more than 300 members... and we're growing all the time (see our Gallery of plates). Most of us live in Michigan, but we have members across the USA. We meet each August in East Lansing... lunch at noon, a hearty round of "MSU Shadows" and the "MSU Fight Song," a few door prizes, then a group photo somewhere on campus. We're usually headed home by a little after 3:00. We send out notification postcards about six weeks early, but we prefer to communicate via Email (do we have yours?). 2007: Our 29th Year - At our most recent rally, we gathered "on the banks of the Red Cedar" at the MSU Administration Building. Special thanks to guest speaker WLAJ-TV Sports Director Hondo Carpenter, to those who drove many miles to join us, and to all who brought those fabulous door prizes! Is my plate combination available? You can now check the Department of State computer to see if your plate idea is available. Does my plate qualify? Plates must be personalized with a message about MSU or your connection with MSU. Some owners of personalized Block-S plates feel that just because their plate is obviously pro-MSU, they qualify. Not so. Clearly, it's getting harder and harder to come up with a good plate, but hey... that's what makes us unique. Wonder if your plate (or your plate idea) qualifies? Just email us, and we'll let you know. Spartan Plates is a private club, not affiliated with Michigan State University or any MSU organization. Membership is by invitation only. We collect no dues. Our two favorite teams are Michigan State, and whoever's playing Michigan. Our mascot is the Spartan, native to Greece... their mascot is the Wolverine, native to landfills.
