From Frat House to White House: The Surprising Connection Between Toga Parties and Political Campaigns

TL;DR Summary
Alpha Delta, a fraternity house with a notorious history, has become a popular destination for presidential candidates seeking a youthful and less guarded image. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and current presidential candidate Nikki Haley recently spoke at the house, known for its association with the movie "Animal House." Despite its troubled past, Alpha Delta has hosted several White House aspirants, including Bob Dole, John McCain, and John Edwards. While the fraternity is no longer active, the house has been cleaned up and now serves as a literary society, offering its space for political events and fostering the free exchange of ideas.
