I did not mean to imply....
that Harry did not take pride in his Lambda Chi membership, and
from what I hear he did...and he was Grand Master of the MO masons, and might have been what you call an "organization man" But he never ever went to college...a well-known fact.
nor did I intend to take lightly the status or feeling of the honorary ones...Lawrence Welk, TKE, would play the TKE sweet heart song at least once a year on the radio. And a goodly number of TKE initiates wore the letters, like Willie Nelson, Elvis.
BUT, guys, isn't this pushing the envelope a bit? Theoretically as
I am a member of Sigma Delta Pi, Spanish honorary which demands a 3.5, then I am a "greek." But really, we are talking out of both sides of our mouth. JFK was not a greek at all in the
sense we cherish, and Ike could not pass the physical for TEP membership at the time, and hardly went to a greek campus. His
brother Milton was an active SAE, though.
The fact that I belonged to AERho, radio fraternity or APhiO the boy scout one did not put me on the list of a Greek AT THAT TIME,
so let's get real. We are stretching the point, and it is a point we
need not stretch. Let's keep credibility in the formula, huh?
