Colorado LXA chapters

Erik...LOL regarding LXA at Adams State, yeah, that was I think the record for shortest lived chapter for the fraternity. What's surprising are the number of UNC chapter members from Alamosa...

LXA at CSU-Pueblo has really turned things around - got into bad shape membership wise a year or so ago, but have rebounded nicely thanks to alumni intervention.

LXA at CC would be nice - original chapter there closed due to WWII, and no one ever tried to restart! There are still a few living alumni from then as well.

LXA at DU has always done well - good alumni oversight (Drew Hunter, founder of Bacchus and GAMMA is the advisor).

LXA at CU was struggling a bit, but seems to be getting on even keel, though I don't know what the new CU policies may do for their future survival.

LXA at UNC is still going strong (yippee!). They have yet to run into a post-chartering slump, to their credit.

LXA at CSU - possible recolonization on the horizon, just have to wait and see if campus climate is receptive given all the recent problems. Apparently FIJI is back, which surprises me than any GLO would try at this time, but more power to them to be successful!

LXA at CSM - interest group organized about four years ago then folded. Not sure if anything else will be attempted in near future. Was never an official colony.

Doubtful that LXA would try anything anywhere else with possible exceptions of UCCS (I went there my freshman year...before they had dorms or half the current buildings there) and Metro, if Metro gets more serious about having a greek presence.

I like your idea of a 3 to 4 GLO colonization effort happening simultaneously for schools such as Metro or UCCS - that may have a very positive effect, but, the national GLO's HQ's would have to sign off and coordinate the effort more than likely, which is the only real hurdle I can see (getting schedules straight with different orgs travelling folks would be the major sticking point over anything else).
