Bobby -- wanna' shed some light on the topic?

they didn't teach you anything hanging out with all those WCU Pikes? lol jk

Like Firehouse said, our Lambda Chapter at the Citadel was disbanded by the school. They barely lasted a year I think. But the Fraternities figure head came from that chapter. Robert Adger Smythe (yes, the Smythe award was named after him). Despite his chapter losing its charter so quickly, he still devoted many many many years to the Fraternity.

I really doubt this. If it was, it certainly was not sanctioned or official in any way, shape or form. And I would guess that if it was "discovered," the cadets would have been punished or ordered to disband--because they can do that at USMA.

Unless you're thinking about the "Order of the Rose" and that is/was NOT a sorority--but I won't go into that here.

Look here --> http://sigmalambdagamma.com/chapters.htm. Scroll down to the Mu Beta Chapter Listing and the website is still live, just hasn't been updated on the "sisters of" page for 3 years. I don't know the circumstances of the chapter, as I didn't become a member of the organization until after the 2003. I do wonder though... looks like another question to be directed to the national board.

Nevertheless, please don't say that Bill Clinton isn't a member of a fraternity -- he was an undergraduate initiate of Alpha Phi Omega, Mu Alpha Chapter. So say non-social, but don't say non-fraternity.

Thanks.

Yes, Tom Earp, I know that there is a difference. Please don't go there with me today.

Clinton is also an esteemed Brother of Kappa Kappa Psi...

And, although we are not a social but a service org, we are still Greek...

macallen,

Not only was the Greatest School In All The Land established before Hell's 40 acres, but Sam Houston State was, too.

I've been told Phi Delts opened their doors before the university did. Have you heard this?

You know, I keep forgetting he is in KKPsi. Thanks for the reminder.

(If you have more info, like when he was initiated and where, please PM me.)

The Republican contigent of GC sure is testy this morning.

Do you really have to consider party affiliation to determine that Clinton was a scum bag?

Just to make sure President Reagan went to Eureka, not Elon (N.C.) right? That being said, I'm a republican, but I'd like to hang out with Clinton. I may not agree w/ his policy, but I'd bet he's fun to drink and talk politics with.

Well, there may be some discussion on that one!

H S T a little known President who was thrust into The Presidency of F D R's death, ended WW II. A Soft spoken Man From Missouri, which is above Arkansas if I remember Geography right!

Bills claim to fame was Cigar usage and abusing the Oval Office!

Dont get upset, I like Bill, Hillary, well, that is another situation!

We should start up an 08 thread. My early favorite is Mitt Romney, if the country can live with the Mormon thing.

I say no on Romney, he is a Gov but he doesnt really have the name recognition. Most people might have a hard time with his beliefs as well. I'm going to be watching Giuliani and McCain.
