Eta Sigma Gamma is part of the Fraternities and Sororities WikiProject, an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Greek Life on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to International social societies, local organizations, honor societies, and their members. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, visit the project page, where you can join the project, and/or contribute to the discussion.Fraternities and SororitiesWikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and SororitiesTemplate:WikiProject Fraternities and SororitiesFraternities and Sororities articles
Article requests : An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest.
Citing sources : Additional citations are needed for this article, using OUTSIDE SOURCES. Even though it is old enough, it was missed by Baird's Manual, the de facto reference work for fraternal groups. The online archive for Baird's does not yet track professional or honor societies. Is it cited by the ACHS? Is it referenced in industry publications? Please look for them. These could be from a notable publication or book, a university yearbook, an official university portal listing or where the school comments on the organization.
Infobox : The infobox is incomplete. The template best used for this entry, where you can see all available fields (--these things: "| = text") is the fraternity-specific infobox. This, and other useful items are linked on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
Maintain : Set a calendar reminder to update the chapter list and otherwise check the article for necessary updates, annually.
Update : If calling out specific chapters in the body text, italicize the name of the chapter. Wikipedia practice is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
Wikify : Add relevant symbolism to the infobox. Confirm the number of chapters and add the number of lifetime members - this is needed in both the body text and infobox. Expand the History section with milestones. The chapter list is started, as a table format; it ought to be completed and likely moved to a separate standalone page because of length (subjective, this should be done with 30 chapters or more). A chapter list should include dates of chartering. I've left an example of the "dts" template with Alpha chapter's creation date. Indicate if a chapter is active by bolding its name, or if inactive by using italics. A table will allow room where chapter references may point to portal pages, and allow comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome. You can optionally create a table for notable members; be sure to put rules for inclusion here on the talk page, to avoid "vanity listings."

Logo: Logo is owned by ESG National Organization, and is available in high quality form here. After this article is moved to the main article space, the image should be uploaded under fair use. --HealthEdActivist (talk) 08:28, 7 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Declaring a COI: I am a member of Eta Sigma Gamma. I have attempted to edit this page to avoid peacocking. ---HealthEdActivist (talk) 08:19, 7 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
I noticed this page as a draft article sitting out there, corrected some format issues, uploaded a crest, and made a number of edits before promoting it to mainspace. I've left the To Do list so that other editors can pick up from here. It's now listed (and tracked) by the Fraternity and Sorority Project watchlist. Jax MN (talk) 21:31, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

It is clear that this society exists. Some editors will rightly call out the fact that the citations are either self-referenced or they point to minor pages. Adding these should be the next step in improving this page. One way to show notability as an honor society is to join the ACHS. There is a cost, certainly, but once Eta Sigma Gamma has joined, even if the society chooses to leave ACHS at a future date it will be noted as a former member, with the resultant ACHS template at the bottom of the page. Venerable Phi Beta Kappa is a former member, now standing on its own as an independent. Jax MN (talk) 21:56, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
