Barack Obama Pledged at UIU
Another thread put out the question if Barack Obama was a nupe.
No, Barack Obama is not a nupe. He recently became an honorary member of a different fraternity.

I agree. I thought it meant that he pledged Kappa at UIU. This thread would probably be better suited in the Greek Life section, or as an additional post in that original "Did Obama pledge Kappa?" thread.

To my knowledge, members of Alpha Nu Omega are allowed to pledge NPHC organizations. (But most don't)
I'd gladly welcome clarification from members.

Also, after reading the article, I feel like this borderline jeopardizes their tax-exempt status.

It's not borderline--it is a violation unless they are not a 501(c).

There appears to be more than one Alpha Nu Omega Fraternity and the one here doesn't seem to be affiliated with either one. Barack got duped.

WHEW!
That makes me feel better..... Upper Iowa University (which I'd never heard of before today) seems to have only local orgs.
In an interesting coincidence, there is an org there with Digamma in the name!
