Ann Arbor fraternity to be dissolved over vandalism

ANN ARBOR, MI (AP)--   A University of Michigan fraternity is being disbanded after some of its members were involved in vandalism at ski resorts in Northern Michigan. 

The Sigma Alpha Mu International Board says in a release Tuesday that it also voted to permanently suspend the charter in Ann Arbor.

The board says chapter officers refused to identify members who damaged the hotel property and that those responsible for the damage have not come forward. It also calls the behavior of those involved "abhorrent."

Six fraternities and sororities from the school damaged doors, furniture, fixtures and carpet at Treetops and Boyne Highlands in January. Damage, legal fees and other expenses will cost about $430,000 at Treetops Resort in Gaylord. About $30,000 in damage was done to 12 condos at Boyne Highlands near Petoskey.
