Over the summer the Zeta Xi chapter lost their brother, James Royal, South Carolina ’18, to suicide.

James’ death devastated his friends, family, and community. Local sports reporter Mike Uva created a shirt to honor James’ legacy, with all the proceeds going towards his memorial fund.

“The memorial fund is aimed towards those who are struggling with mental health,” shared his chapter brother Joey Murphy, South Carolina ’20. “The fund is aimed towards those who are struggling with mental health and helping to provide resources to those impacted by it.”

James’ parents are currently in the process of setting up the fund. You can view or purchase a shirt here.
