...practice of allowing a man to be a member of more than one undergraduate social fraternity once existed at Harvard. Baird's Manual of American Fraternities verifies this as it names T.R. as a member of both Deke and Alpha Delt. As a result, Delta Kappa Epsilon honors Roosevelt as one of its greatest members, and we do not feel inclined to allow Alpha Delta Phi exclusive claim...
Theodore Roosevelt was not a member of Alpha Delta Phi at Harvard. Rather a most illustrious member of Delta Kappa Epsilon...
...Cambridge, Neil McElroy majored in economics, subbed in basketball ("I would be in for five minutes, then out like a cigar in a swamp"), tootled the piccolo, became president of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter-and ran the floatingest poker game in Matthews Hall. When his devout Methodist father heard about the poker, he insisted that Neil take up bridge instead (years before, figuring his sons should sin at home if they sinned at all, he had bought them a pool table to keep them from hanging around pool halls). The upshot: Neil McElroy plays both bridge and poker, enthusiastically...

The job: a $100-a-month mail clerk at Procter & Gamble's Cincinnati headquarters. Twenty-three years later...

Pledged to Sigma Nu, his father's fraternity, Herman helped guide a revolt by smaller fraternities against the big three-Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Chi Phi and Kappa Alpha-that traditionally controlled the university's Pan Hellenic Society. For his politicking, Herman won some patronage: the Pan Hellenic presidency in his senior year. Like his father, he joined the Phi Kappa debating society, but there was a difference in their styles. Campus audiences remembered Gene...
