Citing sources : Most such articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. These could be from Baird's manual (last edition published in 1991), or a notable publication or book, the online Baird's Archive, a university yearbook, an official university portal listing or where the school comments on the student organization. When citing the online Baird's Manual Archive, look for a society within each of the sections, and check if it is listed on the page for a particular institution. Here is a reference template:
[1]
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 within the F&S Project is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
Wikify : Add relevant, public symbolism to the infobox. List the group's print publication in the infobox, italicized. Expand the History section to include milestones. A table may also be used to showcase notable members, but be sure to add Inclusion Rules to avoid vanity listings.

This page reads like an advertisment, sounds like it has been pasted from their official website? Pittising 12:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
I think this page has been edited to a considerable extent in the past 4 years.
I believe all issues are now fixed, at least to the standard established here for fraternities and sororities. This sorority has grown to the point where a second page, listing its chapters, may now be needed. This is common among other established fraternities and sororities. Additionally, unless there is some rational for using lower case Greek chapter designations, I'd suggest upper case letters, which are far more commonly used, and therefore understandable among readers. Most fraternity and sorority members do not actually read Modern Greek, nor Ancient Greek, for that matter, and simply know how to read the capital letters.

At this writing, some of the chapters are listed as "Dormant, reformed" What does this mean? Are they Dormant (therefore inactive)? Or are they re-established, and therefore Active? Jax MN (talk) 19:16, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
