Citing sources : The article has numerous citations; confirm occasionally that these are still good links. Most fraternity 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]
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. The Controversies section may be too detailed for a main article, however, the national precedents set by the three court cases involving the requirement that leaders and members share the Christian faith are of notable importance.
Wikify : Add relevant, public symbolism to the infobox. List the group's print publication in the infobox, italicized. Occasionally, confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and website. Occasionally, confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. Expand the History section to include milestones. The chapter list (separately linked) is a good start. It can include exact dates of chartering and a column for links to portals or references. Indicate if a chapter is active by bolding its name, or if inactive by using italics. A table may also be used to showcase notable members, but be sure to add Inclusion Rules to avoid vanity listings.
I just uploaded the Beta Upsilon Chi crest. However, I noted there was a post in 2015 about a new version, simpler, that may have been adopted. Which is most commonly used? Jax MN (talk) 14:53, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
