Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Michigan
Should I quit immediately if i was sexually harassed and there was only verbal warnings to the offenders?

Not if you want to pursue a case. You need to let upper management know, let them try to stop it, and if it continues, maybe quit. You should discuss this with an employment lawyer first.
No. Start a diary and record the facts (who,what,where, when) of any further sexual harassment in your workplace or by any employee outside of work. Notify management of these events as soon as you can. If you leave now, you will have no remedy.
Realize that there is a difference between sexual harassment and personal conflicts with other employees that are everyday occurrences in some workplaces. Anger and hurt feelings which have no relationship to your gender are not actionable.
