Elvis Presley didnt go to college but became an honorary member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity at Arkansas State College in 1960, all thanks to its plucky chapter president, Rick Husky. Husky sent a letter to Presley via his secretary, inviting the singer to accept the fraternitys fabricated Man of the Year Award and become an honorary TKE brother. Against all odds, Huskys plan succeeded, and he found himself at Graceland, presenting a pledge pin to the King of Rock n Roll. He was very sincere and appreciative — a real gentleman. He treated us like we were somebody and, of course, we were just a bunch of kids from college who couldnt believe we were at Graceland with Elvis Presley, recalls Husky. The two became friends over the years, and Husky went on to produce Elvis, a 1990 TV series in cooperation with the Presley estate. TLC.M.Anne
