The group played an instrumental, yet privileged, role in building the Michigan Union. It is also known to have had a hand in forming several prominent campus charity and service organizations, such as K-grams and Dance Marathon. In 1932 it was granted a permanent lease for space in the tower of the Michigan Union, although the group left the tower in 2000 due to student protest and unrest. The tower remains empty today because it does not meet Americans with Disabilities Act regulations.
