Sigma Beta Phi 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.

About the previous article using this name[edit]

Regarding the previous attempts to create this page, the society to which this redirect now points is an entirely separate organization.

I note that the previous article was intended to showcase a single chapter (local) women's organization at Ottawa, formed in 2007, for which the previous article had been offered. Twice. Should someone recreate an article for THAT group, as they are much younger than the 1831 establishment of the Washington Literary Society, this new redirect might be switched either to a DAB link or probably better, the Ottawa group should have a clearer title, like "Sigma Beta Phi (Canada)".

Few local fraternity organizations have enough notability to merit their own pages. The Fraternity and Sorority Project has elaborated a set of guidelines for this, based on standard Wikipedia rules. Essentially, these follow the original inclusion rules used by Baird's Manual over its twenty editions.

The Fraternity and Sorority Project generally advocates that first usage of a name (set of Greek letters) determines which article may use the bare Greek letters; we typically use WP:hatnotes to differentiate, but only if there is confusion. Surprisingly, there is very little reuse of the exact same letters in the 1,500 or so societies we track. Jax MN (talk) 19:07, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
