Alex Duran

We're sure you know that since the founding of the first social fraternity in 1825, all but four of the United States presidents and vice presidents have been Greek organization members. Keeping with the election fever that is being fueled on college campuses across the nation, Something Greek is taking our most popular blog topic, Famous Greeks, and applying it to the political scene!
