Fascinating! What Roosevelt would that be? President Theodore Roosevelt was graduated from Harvard, where he was a member of the Porcellian Club. His cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who became President later, also was a Harvard graduate, although, since his branch of the family was less socially illustrious than Theodore's, he was NOT chosen for the Porcellian Club -- a fact which disappointed him greatly.
The Porcellian Club, of course, is not connected with Skull and Bones, nor are the other final clubs at Harvard (A.D., Fly, Spee, Owl, and so on).
Did either of the Roosevelts also go to Yale? I would think that one undergraduate experience would have been enough for either of them, even if it was just Harvard. (Their families could certainly have afforded a second undergrad career, of course.)
It is my understanding, from newspaper stories that touch on politicians' biographies, that Senator Kerry was a member of Skull and Bones at Yale. If memory serves, Senator Lieberman was tapped for Skull and Bones, but did not accept membership. As always, I could be wrong.
