(July 3, 1959) - After years of hopeful speculation and diligent research, curious onlookers standing on the Parade Grounds of Virginia Military Institute catch their first glimpse of a multi-ton fragment of blue Virginia limestone not seen for some 45 years.

 
 
Sigma Nus Skate for Diabetes Research

Take one part Fraternity, one part West Texas, and a seemingly insurmountable goal to skate one million laps at the local roller rink for diabetes research. Sound crazy? The men of Zeta Pi chapter at Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas didn't seem to think so. In fact, neither did the more than 550 sorority women who turned out on February 4, 2006, to help them raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in the South Plains. Sure, it's not quite the stuff traditional Greek stereotypes are made of, but that's exactly why our men decided to host this event.
