‘I’m Shmacked’ to
film in Ann Arbor
PanHell to pilot
risk management
programs Saturday
By EMMA KERR
Daily Staff Reporter
“I’m Schmacked” — a film crew
dedicated to producing videos that
glorify college party culture and
often garner millions of views — is
coming to campus Saturday.
The video series will feature the
University’s party scene for the
first time since 2012. The group’s
arrival in Ann Arbor comes just
weeks after University administra-
tors called out the series by name
during an all-chapter mandatory
meeting with University Greek life.
During the Sept. 10 meeting, in
which University called on Greek
life to stop perpetuating party cul-
ture, University President Mark
Schlissel said the University’s rep-
utation will suffer if the organiza-
tion does not enact change.
“It’s not gonna be the kids who
receive the Rhodes Scholarships
and the Fulbright Scholarships,
and the famous professors who do
the work that you’re going to get
reflected on for, or the National
Medal for the Arts that our faculty
won this past week,” Schlissel said.
“It’s going to be the ‘Shmacked’
videos, so it’s really up to you what
the value of your education is
going to be, what the reputation of
this institution’s going to be.”
Panhellenic Association Presi-
dent Maddy Walsh, an LSA junior,
said risk management training and
measures have already been put in
place in advance of Saturday’s foot-
ball game against Michigan State.
“All of the Panhel chapter
presidents know I’m Shmacked
is coming now and that people
are talking about it. Our leaders
have had many conversations and
stressed to their members that it
could be one person pictured in
the video, but that reflects just
as much on the University as on
themselves and their chapters.
So with that in mind and with all
of the educational measures we
are putting in place, I’m hopeful
the weekend will go well,” Walsh
said.
Walsh also added this weekend
Panhel is piloting a Social Liaison
program, akin to the Interfra-
ternity Council’s sober monitor
program, and members have par-
ticipated in trainings with a Stu-
dent Life liaison from the Division
of Public Safety and Security.
“I’m Shmacked or no I’m
Shmacked, PanHel has been doing
a lot of work to implement risk
management strategies because
we know it’s going to be such a big
weekend, with College Game Day
here and it being the Michigan
State game,” Walsh said.
contribute to issues of mass
violence.
Using
the
cycle
of
socialization
model
as
a
resource, students broke into
small groups to discuss the
lingering impacts of a culture
that views mass violence as a
social norm. The model suggests
that dominant ideologies are
reinforced in a society through
repeated
messages
from
institutions of power such as
media outlets and businesses.
One group of students said the
media tends to attach narratives
to incidents of mass violence,
such as narratives that suggest
white mass shooters suffer from
mental illness or that Black
shooters are engaging in gang
activity.
During
the
discussion,
Iguina-Colon
shared
an
anecdote about how two of
her male Black friends were
relieved to learn the shooters
at Northern Arizona University
and
Umpqua
Community
College were not Black.
“One of my other friends
just kept scrolling down the
news article, trying to find out
about the race of the shooter,
and when she found out he was
white, she was relieved she
didn’t have to worry about it,”
she said. “I’m Puerto Rican, so
I know I can empathize with
that feeling. We look at news
articles, and we just hope that
it’s not us.”
Tuesday’s discussion ended
with students thinking about
what causes people to carry out
mass violence. One student said
that some people only believe
their stories will be heard if
they do something harmful or
outlandish to receive attention.
In turn, members of IGR
asked students to brainstorm
ways people can understand
each other before unfortunate
acts of mass violence occur.
Iguina-Colon
said
holding
additional
dialogues
similar
to Tuesday’s discussion would
be beneficial for the University
community.
“Holding
dialogues
like
this where you talk about big
topics and where you also do
some
inner
reflections
like
this, where you think about
what you can do, is important,”
she said. “I think in the dorm
setting, holding dialogues like
this or with your friends or in
your learning community is
important in taking ownership
because we are all responsible
for what’s happening because
we’re all part of the system.”
In an interview with the
Daily after the event, LSA
senior Elena Ross, a co-student
engagement
coordinator,
said holding the discussion
was important in prompting
students to engage with issues
surrounding gun violence.
“This
epidemic
of
gun
violence impacts all of us in
ways we don’t even realize,” she
said. “It’s easy to read and see
about it in the news and become
numb to it and not engage with
it. Having an evening where
people come together and talk
about what it’s really like, and
what role we play, and what it
means for us and our daily lives
and our sense of security in our
life in general and on our college
campus is really important.”
The
Student
Engagement
Team hopes to hold a follow-
up
candlelight
vigil
in
remembrance of the victims of
recent college shootings.
