Benjamin Harrison was also a Delta Chi. He was the president at the time of our founding and was a highly acclaimed lawyer, making him an ideal candidate. He was initiated at a time when we were still a professional law fraternity and we still allowed dual membership.
ETA: To further clarify, Delta Chi does not have "Honorary Initiates" at present. I do not know if this was the case when Harrison was initiated, but I think the policy was the same. Alumnus Initiates are full members of Delta Chi
