All Greek Apollo 11 crew raging in space and claiming the moon for the USA. TFM.

    1. The Corps of Cadets in itself is considered a fraternity, maybe not a real one like the rest of us but one indeed.

    2. Although there are none today, at one point there were fraternities at West Point. (example- Phi Delta Theta)

    3. As you may not know, you can pledge a fraternity at a school that you do not necessarily go to, its not an uncommon practice to go to the closest greek system if your school is lacking one.

    4. There are honor based fraternities in various officer training school branch wide, Air Force has Arnold Air and there is also the Scabbard and Blade with is multi-branch.

    5. Buzz Aldrin also attended MIT, I also believe at one point Collins was in a wrestling fraternity? Not sure about that one.

    I pretty much heard Apollo 11 was all greek and ran with it, didn’t check it because I thought that was awesome. After looking it’s inconclusive but definitely a possibility.

      I wasn’t trying to be a douche with that comment. It was a legitimate question. I’m aware that the camaraderie felt by those that attend service academies is similar to those that were in fraternities, in addition to the honors fraternities and whatnot. I just didn’t really consider those.

    Service Academies have many traditions that mirror fraternities and can be considered a fraternal order.

      its not a fraternity, its the military. they take anyone who signs up… maybe thats par for the course at your low tier chapter, but thats not fratty in the least.

      (obviously this does not apply for spec ops, sniper school etc)

      Agree.
      Plus George Washington was also a Freemason.
      And every legitimate fraternity was founded by at least one mason
