That would be Northern Colorado - in Greeley - let's see, that would have been the green chapter house, with a row of townhouses behind it - that was the final location of the original UNC chapter, which was closed in August 1989 (the UNC chapter had an unfortunate tradition of moving almost every semester - mainly a good thing as the chapter kept outgrowing each location, but hard to keep up with!). We were right next to the Sigma Chi house. However, that ENTIRE block of houses is now a beautifully landscaped parking lot!
I was glad to see that house razed. It was the house that I returned to after two years away from college in the Navy - my first day back to the house upon returning to school is burned forever in my brain. I walked in, expecting to attend a rush committee meeting, only to be met by the founding father, and a representative from IHQ, who were holding an emergency meeting. This was the meeting where it was announced the chapter/colony was being closed permanently. What a homecoming. I spent an hour running composites, the crest, and several other chapter items to my apartment, to keep them from being destroyed by members - very upset at the chapter's closing.
UNC recolonized and rechartered at UNC in 2000 and 2004, respectively.
