^^^ You are right that Freemasonry is a fraternity ("brotherhood") in the broad sense, and I have no idea how many presidents have been Masons, but I think when a statement is made along the lines of "all but 2 US presidents since 1825 were in a fraternity," the almost universal understanding is going to be a collegiate, general (social) fraternity. This is especially true since this statistic is usually cited in rush materials or responses to criticisms of the Greek system.

This urban legend has been around a long time, and it pops up on GC from time to time. Funny the "myths" that grow up around GLOs.
