Wendell Keats Sparrow became as Sigma Nu Brother, as Eta Beta 60, in December of 1960, at East Carolina College/University. This brother and English major went on to get his doctorate in English and became chairman of the English Department at East Carolina University. After he passed away the W. Keats Sparrow Awards were established as part of the Joyner Library Advancement Council. Brother T. Jerry Williams, HB 67, in now a member of that council and the 2021 Awards Celebration was held on October 1st, so brother Williams missed most of the Annual Snake Reunion Meeting to attend the event as a way for a brother to honor Keats and as part of the Joyner Library Advancement Council activities of that day.
