Congratulations to Brother Michelle Obama
 

Congratulations to our "First Lady Elect". She became a brother of Alpha Phi Omega as an advisor to the rechartering effort at University of Chicago in 1996.

Yayyyyyyyyy!

Please believe I will be trying to book her as the keynote speaker for Mu Alpha's 55th Anniversary in 2011!

That's awsome, I didn't know that! :)

Wonder if this means they are going to add her to the distinguished alumni in the pledge manual?

At least she's a brother by virtual of being an advisor, vs a honorary.

I'd say she qualifies as a Distinguished Alum! The first female Brother in the White House?? Oh heyellll yeh!!

Yup!

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Three cheers!

Woohoo! :D

What about Hillary Clinton? She is an honorary member, but she was in the white house first. :o)

She wasn't initiated until after she left the White House.

Hence why her chapter is Alpha Delta Eta and not one of the more illustrious ones like Mu Alpha. ;)


jk

Actually, ADH is my chapter, and we didn't initiate her. Apparently SUNY Plattsburgh did which is the Alpha Beta Chi chapter, in 2001. :p

:D my bad!

If everything we are hearing is true, it sounds like APO will be well-represented in Obama's Cabinet:
Honorary Brother Hillary Clinton - Secretary of State
Brother Tom Daschle - Secretary of Health & Human Services
Brother Robert Gates - staying on as Secretary of Defense, at least for the time being

How cool is that? :D

And introducing.... Brother Bill Clinton.... as..... The Beaver.
