Republicans:

Frater Huckabee

Mike Huckabee was recently initiated into the Bond of Tau Kappa Epsilon, following his undergraduate son, I'm not certain of the college. I believe there was a recent article in The Teke magazine.

Huckabee was initiated through the Beta Psi chapter at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro either in Dec. '06 or this spring '07. The chapter closed at the end of the '06/'07 school year due to numbers. His son, David, is a TKE initiated at ASU.

Among John McCain's children there is no Greek connection.

Hillary went to Wellesley, not Radcliffe. There are sorority-like local groups there, but I'm pretty sure we'd have heard about if she'd been a member.

John Edwards' daughter Cate was a Pi Phi at Princeton and is now at Harvard Law. I don't know which eating club she was in.

AND, none of them are worth a damn for running this country!

Oh, on either side of the party lines.

There is more waffeling going on than the House of Pancakes or The Waffle House.
