HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

I heart you for this.

Still waiting for an answer instead of BS!

Is or isn't?

Come on Hot Shots!:rolleyes:

Having a degree(s) doesn't guarantee you wealth - marrying it or inheriting it does! Although it seems like working class people who earn degrees and capitalize on their intellectual abilities are somehow seen as elitist. Go figure :confused:

Why don't you answer the question instead of waiting on others to do it?

Or, you could go ahead and conclude, like most of the rest of us already have, that since no one can find any mention of him being in a fraternity, he probably isn't.

Oh, I just figured with all of the really smart folks here they could find it easier than I could.:rolleyes:

So, if the option in this thread is "answers" or "BS" you're only providing the latter?

This is quite a poo fetish you're exhibiting lately.

Since one cannot prove a negative, it is best to assume that he is not in GLO unless one is told otherwise.

There, a "Really smart folk" helped you out.

I saw an interview where he discussed how the combination of majors and and sports load was impacting his grades, and his dad made him drop the football because it was so important that he graduate (he said his dad really wanted a "college man" in the family).

From the U of D: "Biden graduated from UD in 1965 with a double major in history and political science, and went on to graduate from the Syracuse University College of Law in 1968. He was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972, at age 29.

He is a vocal fan of the Fightin' Blue Hens football team, for which he played briefly as what he calls a “half-baked halfback.”

Just a heads up - you don't have to be wealthy to 1) join a fraternity or 2) get multiple degrees.

So, there is no answer!

Oh, I guess i am wrong, He is not a fellow Greek.

Not a problem!

Is Joe Biden a fraternity man?

I track Greeks in sports, entertainment and in the public eye; oversee the sports, entertainment and "Headlines" links on the NIC website (www.nicindy.org); and have written for 36 different national fraternity magazines, among other projects. Back in early 2006, USA Today listed 20 possible presidential candidates and I named the five who are Greeks. I have alumni directories from over 40 fraternities and never found Joe Biden's name. Two Greeks who went fairly far in primaries were Mike Huckabee (Sigma Pi) and Bill Richardson (Delta Tau Delta).

It doesn't seem to me that there are more or fewer Greeks on this ticket than on others...usually there are no more than 2, not counting the candidates' wives.
