hmm...
No, it's correct... Beta Psi Chapter - Arkansas State Univ. ... Elvis is Honorary (he's the only honorary on that list)...
Honorary members are approved by Nationals (Grand Chapter), are contributors to the chapter in different ways and are "initiated" as well... Willie Nelson did attend college for some time after the Air Force... |
Ok... that makes more sense

I'm challenging on Faulkner as an SAE. It seems unlikely, really, if you know his biography. "Count no 'count" was an SAE?
(By some accounts, he dropped out of high school, went off to join the Royal Air Force because he was too short to join the US military for WWI, when he was enrolled at Ole Miss, he was a special student, and I think, kind of thought of as unusual. It just doesn't seem like he would have been invited to join SAE, but maybe I'm wrong.) Are you saying that the Modernist writer was in a fraternity as a young man or are you saying the fraternity gave him honorary membership, or maybe, that the fraternity had a member named William Faulkner, but he wasn't the writer. What are the circumstances of his membership? The list is impressive enough without him. If you've got Walker Percy and Shelby Foote, you're well represented in terms of 20th century southern men of letters, even without Faulkner. I certainly don't mean to slight the rest of the list or SAE. |

He is listed as a Brother on our Nationals site as well as many others. And yes, he was at Ole Miss for a very short period of time..... |

This is a chronology of Faulkner's life from one of the bookstores in Oxford. They have him joining SAE in 1919, which would have been when he was at Ole Miss. It seems like they'd be up on their Oxford history. So maybe he was a regular member. ETA: why do I only see my errors when I see them quoted? Why can't I proofread my own comments the first time? Argh. |

This would seem to confirm that Mr. Faulkner was a Brother:"1919 Visits Memphis and New Orleans; poem "L'Apres Midi d'un Faune" published in the New Republic; enters University of Mississippi as special student; joins fraternity (Sigma Alpha Epsilon); short story "Landing in Luck" and poems published in student newspaper The Mississippian.
