When I was a kid, my dad once took me to his alma mater, Miami University, to show me what fraternities would be like once I got into college. He was the President of the Phi Delta Thetas. Turns out, we were there bc Dad had a meeting with the alumni to commemorate Benjamin Harrison, also being President of the Phi Delts. They unveiled a portrait of Harrison in their chapter room. I didn’t realize it at the time, as I was just a kid engrossed in my Nintendo DS, but thanks to my dad’s connections, I was and am to this day, the only non-fraternity member to ever set foot in the Miami Phi Delt chapter room. I still remember the portrait of Harrison, which was admittedly pretty cool.
