Even with the reasons of overall school/sorority numbers decreasing, it is a bit strange.

During the 2014-15 school year, under Virginia Commonwealth University here on her popular GreekChat thread, irishpipes listed a KD 2014 colony, a Phi Sigma Sigma 2015 recolonization, a 15-16 GPhiB colony, and an ADPI TBA colony.


By the 2016-17 year irishpipes listed those four VCU colonies as TBA COLONIES.


Only Gamma Phi Beta eventually installed (in 2019).


Not sure which of the three non-installing groups actually tried a colony and failed, or if the three non-installs simply dropped their plans to do so.


And at some point since 2014, the Alpha Epsilon Phi chapter closed. So VCU still has the same number of chapters now as it did ten years ago.
