Facebook CEO's Secret Frat Name Has Been Revealed
Before he dropped out of Harvard to build Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg was an officer at the Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi, where the scrawny young computer geek had a ferocious nickname, according to a classmate.
"Slayer" was Zuckerberg's freshman frat name, his dorm-mate Rebecca Davis O'Brien writes in a Daily Beast profile of the Facebook CEO. If that makes geeky Zuckerberg sound rather unbelievably like a ladykiller, consider it might well have been a reference to his frat duties: As exchequer, Zuckerberg was responsible for collecting dues. He wouldn't launch Facebook — a move that finally brought him to the attention of various campus babes — until sophomore year. Even after that happened, "Slayer" became a better description for Zuckerberg's reputation with regard to privacy than with regard to the opposite sex, his dating life notwithstanding.
