russellwarshay is correct about Presidents
 

Bush I, Bush II, Dan Quayle (veep), Gerald Ford all were undergrad members of a social fraternity. Carter went to the Naval Academy; Nixon played football at Whittier but no fraternities there; L. Johnson pledged a local fraternity in Texas (later a national chapter); Eisenhower went to West Point; Truman didn't go to college. The only one who attended a school with socials and didn't join is Clinton, but he did pledge APO.

Re: russellwarshay is correct about Presidents
 

Clinton went to Georgetown, where they didn't have social fraternties.

Arkansas
 

I was thinking Arkansas. Didn't he do some undergrad work there? He was supposed to go through ROTC there.

Re: Arkansas
 

I don't know. His official Whitehouse bio only makes mention of Georgetown, Oxford, and Yale: http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/bc42.html

and
I understood Attractive #7 to mean that a lot of presidents were members of APO (honorary maybe?), but that Clinton was the only one that he knew of that pledged undergrad.

Yes. That's exactly what I meant. A lot of them are honorary but Brother Clinton actually pledged in undergrad.

Completely off topic, but if any of you all get the new Greek 101 catalog, be sure to check out all of the mistakes in the back under famous greeks. I think they went out, picked some famous folks, said they were from XYZ, and published it. :rolleyes:

He taught Law at Arkansas I believe; and is a PAD as well as an APO.

Re: Re: Bill Clinton
 

Ding! Ding! Ding! You are correct :)

I heard Nick Lachey is an SAE.....

Nick Lachey attended Miami University of Ohio... ((enter nerdy story)):

My boyfriend is originally from Ohio & his mom went to Miami of Ohio. He really likes "boy bands" and especially has respect for Nick Lachey because he, too, is from Ohio. So last night, we were watching Newlyweds, & looked up online where he went to college. It didn't say anything about him graduating or about a fraternity, but there is SAE at Miami of Ohio, so it's plausible. As for when he went to college, he was born in 1973 (according to the same source), so he probably attended in the early 90s.

yes, Nick Lachey is an SAE from Miami University.
