Brees led the Purdue football team to the Rose Bowl in 2001, and has since been a quarterback with the Saints and San Diego Chargers. He led the Saints to the franchise's first NFC championship this past season.

St. Norbert Students Shed Party Image With Good Deeds

Members of St. Norbert College's eight fraternities and sororities are trying to move away from the stereotypical Animal House-image of Greek Life by trading in their togas and beer bongs for community service participation points.

"We feel very strongly about helping others," Katie Laurinaitis, a sister of Epsilon Xi, told the Green Bay Press Gazette. Last weekend, the sorority held a benefit walk for a sister who died several years ago after a struggle with epilepsy.

The girls of Theta Phi sorority recently picked up litter and did yard work for an elderly woman and the brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon are planning a fundraiser for Alzheimer's charities in the fall.
