Cheerio, re: VCU

Around that same time KD had the opportunity to establish a chapter at the University of Richmond and jumped on the opportunity. GPhi colonized in 2019 with a very strong New Member Class. Then COVID hit and and shortly thereafter, Adam Oakes, a Delta Chi pledge died of alcohol poisoning. Greek Life Recruitment was suspended through at least one Formal Recruitment period, and, when it restarted it was still virtual. Gamma Phi was never really able to establish itself; the timing was awful. Both Gamma Phi and Alpha Xi Delta closed.

VCU is primarily a commuter school that became very big, very fast and has never had a real Greek Life Office with trained Greek Life Professionals. I can't realistically see another NPC group wanting to colonize there; there just isn't that much interest in Greek Life there.
