C'mon . . . tell your good story about it.

And don't I remember that all or part of "the rock" is now at Sigma Nu's HQ in Lexington?

A Sigma Nu was in charge of getting agreement from both other organizations as to the final design of the monument. He contacted Kappa Alpha Order and offered him the side closest to their founding school, Washington & Lee. The KA accepted. He then contacted Alpha Tau Omega and gained their approval for having the part of the monument closest to VMI, where they were founded. That left the top portion.



Yes, the Rock stands outside of our HQ. It is a piece of the original rock, a limestone outcropping at which Sigma Nu experienced its spiritual founding on an October night in 1868.
