He was followed by James Garfield, Delta Upsilon at Williams College; Chester Arthur, Psi Upsilon, Union College; Grover Cleveland, Sigma Chi, Columbia University; Benjamin Harrison, Phi Delta Theta, Miami University of Ohio; William McKinley, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Allegheny College. Theodore Roosevelt, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Harvard; William Howard Taft, Psi Upsilon, Yale; Woodrow Wilson, Phi Kappa Psi, University of Virginia; Calvin Coolidge, PHI GAMMA DELTA, Amherst College; Franklin Roosevelt, Alpha Delta Phi, Harvard; and Harry Truman, who was initiated by Lambda Chi Alpha. Of the four presidents who have not been college fraternity members; Warren Harding did not attend college; Herbert Hoover was an early student at Stanford Un iversity before the establishment of fraternities on the campus; Dwight Eisenhower ■ was enrolled at the United States Military Academy at West Point; and John Kennedy attended Harvard (where theVe are no fraternities now), ho-wever, he is a member if one of the clubs at the university which operates much in the same rnanner as fraternities.
