That's correct! I know Frank Reed Horton was an SAE, but wasn't sure which of the other Founders were as well. SAE is credited in "The Story Behind the Founding", by Frank Reed Horton. Quote:

"My Brothers in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity house, where I lived, who were outstanding for high ideals and clean living, were all former Scouts. I felt a college organization should be formed that would strengthen men in these ideals, and give them an opportunity for Leadership experience and for Service to others."
