Phi Beta Chi 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
Infobox : The infobox may be incomplete, or need updating. 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 : Add any additional 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. A chapter list now is in table format, following our template examples: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples). Fill in the missing information on chartering dates and closures. Where Greek letters are expressed, always render them within the GRC language template so that adaptive readers can correctly process them (like "ΣΧ". Rather than "just" the year, a chapter list may include specific dates of chartering using the {{dts|yyyy|mm|dd}} template, or {{dts|yyyy}} or {{dts|yyyy|mm}} if the specific day is unknown. Indicate if a chapter is active by bolding its name, if inactive by using italics, and in plain text if unknown. A table will allow room where chapter references may point to collegiate portal pages (much preferable to a chapter's own website), with comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome. A separate 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.
i was a pledge trainer for delta chi at purdue and we took the pledges to eastern illinois for the weekend.
saturday evening ended up hanging out with phi beta chi's original initiation class unexpectedly at a "dance bar". what validates this the initiation services were attended by the beta members from the purdue chapter.
it was cold outside, so i would say february or march.
