If the title is "Fraternity men who have served as President of the United States" rather than "NIC men who have...", then I would say that it makes a lot more sense to list Bill Clinton with Alpha Phi Omega than with Phi Beta Sigma (which should be listed as "Post White Years" the way that it is for Barbara Bush.)

I understand your point. However, NIC membership has been quite fluid, and some groups have been members and non-member depending on which year it is. NPC membership has remained constant for decades. The list is more of what has been called social organizations. I think I will add an asterisk to Mr. Clinton with both the APO and post White House info. Truman and Eisenhower may have been post White House, but don't quote me on that. I also did not try to discuss honoraries except Phi Beta Kappa.
