Because she is female, she would not belong to a fraternity-- those tend to be all male. It's a "sorority" that female students would join. But interestingly, she does have some involvement with a fraternity-- as an adviser. Michelle Obama is a member, and thus a brother, of the Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity, Inc; she served as an adviser to their rechartering effort at the University of Chicago in 1996.
First, it should be noted that Michelle Obama is an honorary member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a historically black sorority. As for Barack Obama, back when he was a senator, he was made an honorary member of Alpha Nu Omega fraternity, at Upper Iowa University, in late December 2007. Many internet sources refer to his being an honorary member of "several" fraternities, but I can only find documentation of this one.
It does not permit honorary membership. It should also be noted that, contrary to internet rumors, Barack Obama has never been a member of this fraternity.
No, President Obama does not seem to have joined one. There have been various rumors online, but no evidence to support them. He has been named an honorary member of several fraternal organizations, but there's not much proof that he joined a fraternity in college.
Although Elvis did not attend college, he was an honorary member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
As an important figure in the abolition of Slavery the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity made him an Honorary Member even after his death.
Obama didn't go to Yale, he went to Harvard.
As of January 19 2010, President Barack Obama is not a Freemason.

Yes. He joined the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity during his sophomore year at Georgetown University (Mu Alpha chapter).
Yes, Bill Clinton is officially an honorary member with all rights and privileges of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. according to the National Headquarters. He was officially inducted May, 2011.
Colin Powell is not a member of a college fraternity. He is however a member of the Freemasons organization.
No, she is not. In July 2008, she actually accepted an invitation to become an honorary member of ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC., the oldest African-American Greek Letter sorority, but she has yet to be initiated. So currently she is not a member of any sorority.
Actually, he doesn't. There were some un-sourced rumors online that in college, he pledged a black fraternity (Kappa Alpha Psi or Alpha Phi Alpha), but there is no evidence to support these claims, and President Obama has never said he belonged to either of these groups. Mr. Obama has received honorary membership in several fraternities, however, and his wife Michelle has received honorary membership in at least one sorority.
