Yes, they have. Crabbe and Goyle are in Slytherin, and neither of 
them joined Voldemort. Particularly not Crabbe, for the excellent 
reason that he was already dead, having died before ever leaving the 
castle.

zgirnius:
The sense in which people are saying he lied is that the Slytherins 
did not physically join Voldemort - he was not accompanied by the 
entire horde of young Slytherins, not did they fight for him. And, 
this does seem to be what Voldemort means, because he contrasts the 
other Slytherins' behavior with Draco's. 

In the sense you mean (simply leaving the school ahead of the battle 
to go to relative safety), all the underage students "joined" 
Voldemort, as did over half the of-age Ravenclaws, and a few of-age 
Hufflepuffs. We saw the underage students, and members of various 
houses, including all the Slytherins, leave.

No one is disputing this.
