Three University of Michigan fraternities were allegedly responsible for more than $50,000 in damages to two Northern Michigan ski resorts, according to a report from 9&10 News.

Sigma Alpha Mu, the only fraternity named in the report, stayed at Treetops Resorts in Gaylord last weekend. The resort's general manager Barry Owens told the local news station that police had to escort the students out after they caused as much as $50,000 worth in damages. A video showed damaged walls and ripped-down ceiling tiles throughout the hotel.

Two other fraternities stayed at Boyne Highlands and are alleged to have caused significant damage in up to 12 private condos throughout the resort. Boyne general manager Mike Chumbler told the station they assessed a "significant" fee as the groups checked out, before he knew the extent of repairs that would be necessary.

U-M spokesman Rick Fitzgerald issued a statement to 9&10 News stating that the university is "very disappointed" in the behavior of some of its students. He added that the individuals involved will be held accountable.
