Members from at least two different University of Michigan fraternities caused thousands of dollars in damages during a Jan. 16-17 stay at the Boyne Highlands Resort in Harbor Springs.

The fraternities caused "extensive damage" to 12 different condominium units at the resort, said Erin Ernst, the spokeswoman at Boyne.

"They stayed in individual properties and we saw damage of varying degrees. The worst of the damages included things like broken doors and furniture, holes in drywall, broken fixtures and, of course, damaged carpet," Ernst said.

"We host student groups like this all the time at our properties and it's over 50 years old. This is certainly disappointing to us to see this kind of behavior and disrespectful treatment of our property."

Ernst said that this sort of thing is not a common occurrence, even among student groups, and that this is the worst bout of vandalism from a student group the resort has ever experienced.

She said that the resort is still in the process of assessing the dollar amount of the damages, but the amount would be "in the thousands." That amount will include costs associated with replacing fixtures, repairs and cleaning, and potentially the lost business from the units being closed for repair.

She said Boyne has been in contact with the fraternities and the university directly and will have a final assessment of damages in the near future. The resort kept the fraternities' mandatory up-front damage deposit it requires of all guests, and assessed other charges to the group as well. Ernst did not disclose how much the groups had already paid.

The resort received several noise complaints about the group members over the course of their two-day stay, Ernst said. Each of the 12 units has the capacity to sleep eight to 12 people.

Ernst said no arrests were made.

On the same weekend, another group of U-M fraternities and sororities was also accused of causing upwards of $50,000 in damages with similar acts of vandalism at Treetops Resorts in Gaylord.

The resort's general manager, Barry Owens, told a local news station that police had to escort the students and members of the Sigma Alpha Mu from the resort because of the damages.

According to social media accounts, several members of the U-M sorority Sigma Delta Tau were also skiing in Gaylord this past weekend, but there's been no indication members of the sorority were implicated in any damages.

U-M spokesman Rick Fitzgerald released a statement saying that the presidents of the fraternities and sororities involved would be contacted and that the organizations would be held accountable for all damages.

"We are still reaching out to other groups that may have been involved and gathering additional details. We are very disappointed in the behavior of some of our students during a weekend visit to two northern Michigan ski resorts," he said.

"While we are still gathering information, we understand that the damage at Treetops Resort and Boyne Highlands is expected to total in the thousands of dollars. U-M staff members in the Office of Greek Life have begun meeting with the presidents of the fraternities and sororities involved."

Fitzgerald added that the university expects full payment to be made for all damages, and that local Greek chapters are in the process of notifying their national organizations, which could bring their own sanctions.

"We are confident the national organizations will take this seriously and will work through this situation in collaboration with the university," Fitzgerald added.

"Additionally, these incidents will be addressed through the Greek Life student judiciary process on our campus."
