Regarding Presidential Greeks:
There are six DEKE Presidents of the USA.
R.B. Hayes
Theodore Roosevelt
F. D. Roosevelt
Gerald Ford
G.H.W. Bush
G.W. Bush
There is an odd aspect to FDR's membership. He was fully initiated by Alpha Chapter at Harvard, but Alpha was suspended for allowing dual memberships with a Harvard literary society which was evolving into a national fraternity. Alpha operated for a while after suspension but went dormant not too long afterwards. So FDR was an initiated DEKE even if it happened under somewhat irregular circumstances.
