Now you can include honoraries and professionals and their like,
but we generally think of Greek as social ones...
The Congressman figures are likely spurious, and frequently we
pound our chests about our clout. But we over exaggerate a lot,
and like we claim so many masons were presidents. Not so.
While we are proud of our fraternal affiliations, let us not overdo
it. Check your sources, do. Fraternally, Erik P Conard

Truman was greek. He was a Lambda Chi. He was initiated as a sitting president. LXA offers 'honorary initiations' on occasion. One of his personal advisors was a Lambda Chi, and after discussing it, he asked if he coudl be intiated. Some calls were made and he was actually initiated on the presidential train.
