Lambda Iota Society 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. An expansion of the history section would be a big help. Make it "encyclopedic" and avoid puffery.
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), or 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.
Verify : I note that the fraternity's website history claims it is the oldest local fraternity. That is almost certainly an embellishment, and should be corrected. (Many "firsts" are claimed by various chapters. While understandable, where not provable this kind of one-upmanship should be avoided.) Lambda Iota may have been one of the top ten oldest existing chapters until it lost recognition in the early 2000s.
Wikify : If a more compact, modern crest was developed, you can upload it for the infobox - though the 1890s-era etching is nice. Add color swatches if you have them - assuming they differ from those used by Pi Kappa Phi. Add relevant, public symbolism to the infobox - Minerva, perhaps? List the group's print publication in the infobox, italicized. Occasionally, confirm the website is still accurate. Probably the most useful change will be to expand the History section to include milestones. A table may 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.
