Article requests : Additional, freely-licensed graphics on these pages would add reader interest. Additional references are welcome.
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 the online Baird's Manual Archive, 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. 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:

Cleanup : the dates in the table need to be moved to a date template. This is the preferred standard {{dts|1869|12|10}} as it will allow sorting but also show the date in the spelled-out format. It will appear like this: December 10, 1869.
Maintain : Set a calendar reminder to update the chapter lists and otherwise check the article for necessary updates, annually.
Notability : Many groups are included that lack a Wikipedia article as proof of notability. Therefore, these groups need references, preferably from a secondary source or a related university. Lacking that, the group's website. Note that Instagram or Facebook pages are proof of existence, not proof of notability.
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.

I have found 4 orgs that label themselves as Afro-Latino. Do I create a new category or just add it to the Latino List or the African American list? They each put their enphasis on one or the other. I have an idea of which, but I could be mistaken.--Coquidragon (talk) 23:48, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
