Founding Years[edit]

The founding year listed for each fraternity/sorority is the inter/national founding date for that organization, not chapter founding dates. Inter/national founding date is less relevant than chapter founding date in discussion of an individual school's Greek system, and is confusing since closure dates for inactive chapters are specific to that chapter. These should either be removed, or replaced by chapter founding years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawthorneabendsen (talk • contribs) 21:51, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and will removed the dates. Rublamb (talk) 22:11, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have listed the founding year for each local chapter. Sources include national organization pages and old issues of the Colonial Echo. JamesHudsonNavesink (talk) 00:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
