The damage has been done and Treetops Resorts General Manager Barry Owens said crews have been working 16 hours a day all week long to undo the destruction done by a University of Michigan fraternity.
The U-M chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu is alleged to have caused more than $50,000 in damages stemming from vandalism at the ski resort in Gaylord this past weekend.
Owens said damages included broken doors and fixtures, holes in the walls and ceilings, broken televisions, trashed rooms, and much more.
Joshua Kaplan, the president of the SAM Michigan chapter, on Wednesday issued an emailed apology to the resort.
"We are embarrassed and ashamed of the behavior of a few of our chapter members at Treetops Resort over the weekend of January 17-18. This behavior is inconsistent with the values, policies and practices of this organization," he wrote in the statement.
"Our chapter accepts full responsibility for this incident and we will be working with the management of the resort to pay for all damages and cleaning costs. We will work within our own organization and with university officials to hold those who are responsible accountable for their actions."
