As in the wife of the Candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination for president? And do you have a good source that I can use for Wikipedia on this?
I've been working on the Notable Alpha Phi Omega Wikipedia page (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._Omega_members) for quite some time and I know that people get picky about sources.
I'm personally *not* doubting you. (Michelle Obama is listed in the Fraternity membership records as having joined with Gamma Sigma on April 6th, 1997 and according to her Wikipedia Biography "In 1996, Obama served as the Associate Dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago, where she developed the University's Community Service Center.")
Note for those of you keeping score on the Presidential Candidates and their wives APO wise. (As far as I know)
Hillary Clinton is an honorary brother of SUNY-Plattsburgh (Alpha Beta Chi)
Bill Clinton is a brother (joined as an undergraduate) of Georgetown University (Mu Alpha)
Barack Obama none
Michell Obama is a brother (joined as an advisor)
John McCain none (But there is *a* John McCain who is listed in the Membership rolls as becoming a brother at Pi Delta chapter at Western Carolina University in 1975)
Cindy McCain none
