Citing sources : 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, a university yearbook, an official university portal listing or where the school comments on the student organization. I've added a reference to the online Baird's Archive.
Maintain : Set a calendar reminder to update the chapter list and otherwise check the article for necessary updates, annually.
Update : List the group's print publication in the infobox, italicized. Annually, confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and website. Add, then annually, confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members to the infobox.
Wikify : Expand the History section to include milestones.
As an unaffiliated editor, I've just completed an extensive revision of the chapter list table. The WLs are now correct, and fields for "location", "status" and "notes" have been added. Some stylistic adjustments were made to the chapter names, and two additional references were added.
Now, the question remains, if this national has created 150 or so chapters, a fact I do not doubt, based on the referenced sources, it is still dubious to claim that all but one of them remain active. No other national fraternity or sorority claims this significant a level of chapter retention. I would expect that several dozen, perhaps more, are closed, or that alumni from those schools retain a chapter in name only, but would like to see this addressed in the table. Note too, the national website doesn't differentiate whether a chapter is closed: see how they handled Omicron chapter at Upsala College. --It still has an email link but no chapter website. For their part, Baird's lists all but Omicron as active, but this appears to be due to a lack of information to the contrary. Jax MN (talk) 19:29, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
