Not sure he'd call 'em "frat parties" though; we didn't have fraternities as such at Yale.

You were in a resident college, where you took your meals and had your room after your freshman year, and there were the occasional and fairly rare "secret societies" (of which I wasn't a member), but there were none of the national fraternities of for example "Animal House" fame.

President Bush was a member of DKE fraternity at Yale and also a member of Skull and Bones society.

He also was the "commisher" of a stickball league, and has talked about his days in DKE including the branding aspect.

Gary Treadue and John Kerry were also members of the skull and bones society.

I believe DKE is a national fraternity.
