In PS/SS, chpater 6 Hagrid says he was. I don't know if people think 
this a reliable quote or not, since it immediately follows the bit 
about all dark wizards having been in Slytherin. "'There's not a 
single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin. You-Know-
Who was one.'" In Hagrid's defense, he should know; he was at school 
at the same time as Riddle.
