Gamma Sigma Epsilon 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 : Most fraternity articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. These could be from the original Greek Letter Organization reference, Baird's manual (last edition published in 1991), a notable publication or book such as a university yearbook (please add missing collegiate yearbooks to this source!), or an official university portal (~website) listing for the group, or where the school comments publicly on that student organization.
Infobox : The infobox may be incomplete. The template 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 within the F&S Project is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
Wikify : The crest I uploaded has some stray off-white artifacts, so a cleaner version may be substituted for that file (upload it as a new version of the same file name). The color swatches appear to be correct. Add any other relevant, public symbolism to the infobox, like "X" for X-ray. Annually, confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and website - I used the national secretary's address because a national 'official' address wasn't on the national website. Annually, confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. Expand the History section to include milestones. The chapter list should be placed into a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples), or as a separate standalone page when the list is lengthy (subjective, perhaps 30 chapters or more). A chapter list should include dates of chartering. 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. A table may also be used to showcase notable members, but to avoid vanity listings be sure to add a list of rules for inclusion, as discussed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Fraternities_and_Sororities/Archive_6#Notable_members_2. As an example, Phi Kappa Theta does a nice job with their notable members list.

This page was deleted as a copyright violation because of the presence of the list of chapters. This is not a copyright violation because it does not meet the threshold for copyright protection. There is no creative element in the decision to include an item in the list, in the ordering of the list, or in the information displayed for each element. It's a list of every chapter in the organisation, arranged alphabetically, with basic factual information. See Wikipedia:Copyright in lists for more on this. If anyone does want to argue that this is a copyright violation then they should send it to WP:CP. Hut 8.519:23, 29 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
