“Sigma Alpha Mu Michigan chapter President Joshua Kaplan, a U-M student, could not be reached for comment; U-M students are on spring break.

However, the fraternity’s website displays an apology and this 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.”

University of Michigan spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said Saturday that the university was unaware of Treetops’ new cost estimate to repair the damage.

The initial damage repair bill was estimated at about $100,000, as quoted by Owens after the Jan.17-18 weekend rampage. About 120 U-M students, members of Sigma Alpha Mu and women from its sister sorority Sigma Delta Tau, had gathered at the ski resort. There was damage to 45 rooms, and students destroyed ceiling tiles and exit signs, broke furniture and doors and urinated on carpeting, pictures showed.”
