As for which of the U.S. Presidents were nonGreek, collegiate or otherwise, I have no idea where "three" came from but it does not interest me enough to research it.

I know that AI does not mean nonGreek or I would have put down nonGreek. The point of putting down AI was to show that these particular men got their leadership skills in ways other than being Greek as undergrads.
I have oftern seen it stated that "all but 3 Presidents have been Greek" since whatever date. I believe it's a misnomer because it implies that most of the Presidents joined Greek orgs as undergraduates, and it's not true. It's just a bugaboo that bothers me and I was commenting.
