Many writers saw a sexist aspect to Bush's back rub. "This isn't a Sigma Chi kegger, it's the G-8 Summit," wrote blogger Christy Hardin Smith on Firedoglake.com.(Bush was actually in Delta Kappa Epsilon. Another Web 2.0 truism: Blogs are not always friendly with the facts.)
This whole tempest in a teaspoon is silly, but whatever. I just want to add that there's not the slightest sign in that comment from Firedoglake.com that Christy Smith was trying to specify the frat that Bush pledged.

This isn't that much off. The Sigma Chi Fraternity was founded in the mid-1800s at Miami (Ohio) University as a part of a schism of the Delta Kappa Epsilon (Deke) Fraternity.
