Sorority women in the White House

The recent death of Margaret Truman Daniels brought to mind that she was the first to join a sorority while residing in the White House. She enrolled at nearby George Washington University and joined Pi Beta Phi. I am trying to ascertain how many other wives or daughters of presidents were Greek.

Eisenhower son, John, married a Kappa. One of the Johnson daughters joined Zeta Tau Alpha and lived in the Texas chapter house while her father was president. She or her sister married a Chi Phi. Barbara Bush was initiated into Pi Phi after they left the White House. Laura Bush and at least one of the twin daughters are Thetas.

Prior to the Truman administration the only sorority member I can find was First Lady Grace Coolidge, a Pi Phi.

That leaves many presidential wives, daughters, sons and in-laws. Cany anyone add to the list?
