We have changes events this year and the Pig Dinner is Brother’s Only. We will continue to hold the event as a luncheon with catering provided by EAT Catering from Ashland, VA. The event will include the Keynote Speaker, Schuyler VanValkenburg, PX’04 bio below), presentation of the new initiation class, Bringing in the Pig, Scholarship awards, and chapter awards.
Silver Owl Recipients (25 years): Initiation class of March 2001
Gold Owl Recipients (50 years): Initiation class of Spring 1956
Diamond Owl Recipients (75 yrs): Initiation class of Spring 1926
Guest Speaker:
Schuyler VanValkenburg, PX’04, brings a unique and powerful perspective as the 2025 Norris Pig Dinner Speaker: as a longtime public school teacher and active Virginia state legislator, he has bridged the worlds of education and public policy. Currently teaching History and U.S. Government at Glen Allen High School, he draws on real classroom experience to advocate for stronger public schools and sound civic engagement. As a former Delegate (and now State Senator), he has spearheaded legislation to boost teacher pay, expand school counseling, and defend fair voting practices. Schuyler exemplifies the 5 values of Phi Gamma Delta and will share how the fraternity has shaped his commitment to public service.
Saturday Evening: Richmond Spiders v St. Bonventure
Location: Robin’s Center
Time: Tip-Off at 6pm, Attire: Casual
Cost: All guests (Brothers and family) pay own tickets
The Pig Dinner weekend festivities will continue at the Robin’s Center to watch the Spiders Men’s Basketball team host St. Bonaventure. All brothers and families are encouraged to attend.
