The Sesame Street thing sounds familiar, but I can't find it in National
History book in my first half an hour or so of searching. :(

No clue.

Yes.
Here are some even more random questions about the Fraternity
1) What was the section number for Iowa prior to 1967?
2) During what time periods did the size of the student body of the campus
affect how many students were required to charter a chapter?
3) What was Brother Bill Clinton's nickname?
4) Has anyone resigned from the national Board more times than Bill Rugh
(Twice)?
5) Has any chapter (since 1967) gone from first meeting to (re)charter in
less than the 11 months for Northern Arizona?
