NOTE

Dan Quail and the DKE Alumni

Ron earned admission to Yale based on his impressive academic and extracurricular achievements. Despite not being a legacy or having influential parents, he saw this as an opportunity to climb the social ladder and network with influential people. Ron excelled at Yale, becoming captain of the baseball team and joining the prestigious Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, whose alumni include notable figures like the Bush presidents and Teddy Roosevelt.
