58 Greene FAQ

Where did you get the name 58 GREENE?

58 GREENE, located in the basement of East Quad at the University of Michigan, is the original practice room that the group began in oh so long ago. The founding GREENIES felt that all the experiences and intangibles that made up their newly formed group could best be summarized in that name - the place where it all began!

What is Corundum? What does the turtle mean?

"Corundum is the second hardest natural mineral known to science. The hardness of corundum can be partially attributed to the strong and short oxygen-aluminum bonds. These bonds pull the oxygen and aluminum atoms close together, making the crystal not only hard but also quite dense for a mineral made up of two relatively light elements."

Corundum serves as a metaphor for what the Greenies stand for: individually we are simple, but together, through our love of music and friendship as our bond, we are incredibly strong. Today, and since the founding of the group, the embodiment of Corundum is recognized as our mascot, Corundum the Turtle.
