Post Interesting story about a Lexington Monument

Here are some items of interest from when I visited Lexington at the College of Chapters.

There is a monument in Lexington at VMI that commemorates the Lexington triad. A Sigma Nu was commissioned to build it (another story I'm sure). He contacted the ATO national office and told them that he was building the monument which would feature a circle with "pie slices" displaying the names of each fraternity. I can't at this moment remember which way was which so left and right will have to do because that's how the monument looks =) ).
He asked the ATO main office if they'd like the side of the sign closest to VMI (where they were founded). They of course loved the idea... and so it was.
Then he went to the KA Order HQ and told them he could give them the part of the sign closest to Washington & Lee College (where they were founded) and they of course loved that idea.
So the sign was built bearing the names of the fraternities of the Lexington Triad. On the left side near VMI was ATO's name. On the right side nearer to Lexington was KA's name. Finally on the top and in the middle is Sigma Nu.

-- And that's how Sigma Nu is placed in the highest postion on the monument of the Lexington Triad.
