Maybe it's just me, but was it really necessary to headline this as "Bushes' fraternity"? Yes, I know the press loves to pick up on the fact that both President Bushes are members of this chapter, and I know DKE loves to mention it as well. But there does seem to be an unseemly suggestion of guilt by association.

I thought that too. The Bushes have nothing to do with this story and should have been at least left off the title. I don't know that it was even necessary to mention it in the actual article, but it would have been better than in the title.
