Ronald Wilson Reagan, President, TKE
He was not mentioned among famous greeks, and Ronald W.
"Dutch" Reagan was initiated at Eureka College in Illinois as an
undergrad. He served as president of the chapter as did his brother John Neil "Moon" Reagan.
Reagan and his then-wife Jane Wyman built the college library.
He has returned many times to Eureka and to the TKE house.
He made two rush films for TKE and has been a lifelong supporter
of the greeks. He invited all the greek presidents at Ohio State
to have lunch with him at the Teke house in Columbus. They did.
He likely visited more fraternity chapters than all the rest of the
US presidents combined. And there is no question about it, he is
the greatest supporter of the greeks the presidency ever had.
The undergrads loved him...wherever he went. He was a warm
and genial man who took seriously Fraternity for Life.
