Emotions ran high Saturday

night among the University of

Michigan’s fraternities. Cheers

were shouted, blood was spilled and

rivalries were ignited — all before the

night’s festivities even began.

The inaugural Greek Fight

Night, organized by the University of

Michigan Boxing Club and sponsored

by TITLE Boxing Club Ann Arbor,

was held at the Intramural Sports

Building, and aimed to raise money

for charity. Thirteen social and

professional fraternities participated,

each using the event to fundraise for a

different organization.

Twenty-one fights were held

over the course of the night. Though

most of the participants were male,

the event began with three fights

between women on the club boxing

teams from the University of Illinois

and the University of Michigan. The

next 18 fights were between two men

from different fraternities, although

some members of the boxing team

also participated.

According to a comment on

the event’s Facebook page, several

sororities denied invitations to

participate, but the University of

Michigan Boxing Club does hope to

have sororities participate next year.

“Unfortunately, after reaching

out to several sorority boards, many

declined the offer to participate!”

University of Michigan Boxing Club

wrote. “We hope to include sorority

fights for our second annual!”

Although all fraternity members

were amateur boxers, the men spent

two and a half months training before

the event with the Boxing Club. Each

match was a sanctioned USA Boxing

Bout, and officials from USA Boxing

were there to moderate the fights.

“The guys have been training

long and hard for the past month …

each boxer is matched up by weight

and experience level,” the Boxing

Club wrote on its Facebook page. “It

is a completely sanctioned event with

USA Boxing officials there to look

after the safety of the boxers.”

LSA sophomore Sam Finn,

president of the Delta Sigma Phi

fraternity, participated in the fight

because it seemed like a good way

to raise money for charity and have

fun with the greater Greek life

community.

“It definitely seemed like an

opportunity to do one of the coolest

things I’ve ever done,” Finn said.

“And it wasn’t really nerve-wracking

because the second you walk in, the

only thing you’re focused on is the

other person. But it’s definitely a

really intense adrenaline rush.”

Finn’s fraternity was raising

money for the American Red Cross,

and while they don’t yet know how

much money the event raised, he

estimates over 500 tickets were

sold. The ticket revenue will be split

between the 13 different philanthropy

organizations.

Finn said the night was an

incredible experience.

“If they let me do it next year, I

would 100 percent do it again,” he

said.

student involvement in CSG, and
ensuring the student body has the
opportunity to unite to create a
lasting impact.

When
asked
where
the

inspiration for the name came
from, Rosen said there was a lot
of symbolism behind it, drawing
parallels to the force of a wave.

“We see Movement as another

kind of term for change,” Rosen
said. “We keep moving, keep
changing — Michigan is an elite
public university, does a lot of
great things, but we feel like we
can get even better, so we want

to keep moving forward, and
that’s where the movement comes
from. Our logo is the wave emoji,
and we’re big on that because we
see the student body as coming
together and forming instead of
being individual water droplets —
coming together to be a wave, an
ocean.”

Business junior Ethan Lutz,

campaign manager of Movement,
reiterated that Movement’s focus
is the student body, and the group
was looking for ways to make CSG
more accessible to the average
University student.

“We’ve talked about how the

school may be a little divided,
and we want to bring the school
together,” Lutz said. “One way
we want to do that is through

giving the students more of a
voice; we want to have more
transparent processes within
the student government, more
open
forums,
sending
out

more surveys to gauge student
opinion.”

While most parties running

for CSG have historically had
members with robust student
government experience at the
University, Movement is unique
in that most of its executive
board members have not served
in CSG. Rosen and Sweeney
believe they will be able to relate
to the student body and bring
new ideas and initiatives to the
table.

“We
are
very
clearly

outsiders,” Rosen said. “We’re
not part of CSG, most of
the people involved in our
campaign are not with CSG and
I think that results in a lot of
new ideas and a lot of change … I
think we bring new fresh ideas,
and we’re going to reach more
people by making it a more fun,
creative campaign.”

Sweeney pointed out that

their lack of CSG experience
may
be
an
advantage
for

the candidates, and that it’s
important to their campaign
that they address students
who have felt estranged from
student government, and reach
out to students who may not
be as politically active and
engaged as others.

“One of the most exciting

things each year, for me at least,
is the CSG elections,” Sweeney
said. “But what I sort of realize
now is that each year it’s sort of
the same process … the people
that I know that are involved
are the same people that have
been involved every year. One
thing that … is important and
integral to our campaign, is
focusing on how we can get
other people involved who
aren’t political activists or really
up to date on the initiatives
that are being passed — how
can we make Central Student
Government
something
the

average Wolverine is going to
be interested in, and feel like
applies to them?”
