Some days I wonder why I keep writing this blog. Do people actually read the posts? Let’s face it, fraternity history doesn’t sound exciting. Why should anyone spend time learning about the history of any Greek-letter organization to which they do not belong? Then there are a goodly number of people who would rather have root canal without anesthesia than read anything about fraternities. Suffice to say, I am grateful to all of you who are reading this of your own accord. Please know that I value your time and support.
The top 10 posts for 2014:
10. Dr. Seuss a Sig Ep? Yep! This post deserves a visit to see the wonderful photo of him as a Dartmouth student – http://wp.me/p20I1i-bh.
9. Walt Disney World and Fraternity Connections? http://wp.me/p20I1i-xf
8. Vice Presidents Who Were Members of a Fraternity. If the Vice President doesn’t become President, chances are good that in a decade or two very few people will remember his name. Check out this list of Vice Presidents who belonged to fraternities http://wp.me/p20I1i-11G. I think that more than once you will say to yourself, “Never heard of him!”

4. Ten Amazing Sorority Women. If you only click on one link, make it this one. Honor these amazing women by being proud of the sorority connection, even if she is not a member of your organization. She is a National Panhellenic Conference organization member and her glory reflects on all NPC women. http://wp.me/p20I1i-1sy
3. Sorority Women Who Wore the Miss America Crown. Competing in the Miss America contest is not for slackers. These women work very hard to make it all look so easy. Check the list of sorority women who have won the Miss America crown – http://wp.me/p20I1i-zK. There is also a listing of sorority women who have served as Miss U.S.A. – http://wp.me/p20I1i-1eY.
2. Honoring the GLO Members Who Perished on September 11, 2001. http://wp.me/p20I1i-1Pt
1. U.S. Presidents and First Ladies Who Are Members of GLOs. My sense is that many people end up at this post because they are trying to verify that inane and thoroughly erroneous “Every U.S. President and Vice President, except two in each office, born since the first social fraternity was founded in 1825, have been members of a fraternity” statement. http://wp.me/P20I1i-l5
