Alpha Beta Kappa 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 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.
Maintain : Set a calendar reminder to update the chapter list and otherwise check the article for necessary updates, annually.
Wikify : Is there a better crest for the infobox? Confirm color swatches. Occasionally, confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and website. Occasionally, confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. Add chapter names and charter dates to the chapter list, along with missing chapters.
There are plenty of Google hits for the Alpha Beta Kappa honor society, since thousands of students graduating from private colleges and universities are awarded the honor; however, most press coverage mentions these honors incidentally as part of coverage for graduation events in general (example). The volume of news coverage suggests the article passes WP:GNG, but the quality of sources is poor. -- Scjessey (talk) 22:38, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
