This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Clovia (sorority) article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Clovia (sorority) 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
Article requests : An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest.
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:
[1]
Infobox : The infobox is incomplete. 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 : Upload and add better crest for the infobox, if there is one. Confirm the color swatches. Add relevant, public symbolism to the infobox. List the group's print publication in the infobox, italicized, if there is one. Occasionally, confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and websites. Add the number of lifetime members. Expand the History section to include milestones. The chapter list is in a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples). A chapter list should include dates of chartering. Indicate if a chapter is active by bolding its name, or if inactive by using italics. A table will allow room where chapter references may point to portal pages, and allow comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome. A 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.
No idea where the information is from, but dates for the last 4 are at https://quizlet.com/442517497/exam-3-flash-cards/ . Not referencable, but maybe the dates can be googled with clovia to see if something actually referencable shows up?Naraht (talk) 04:21, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The creator has a few other sets which relate to Clovia from about the same time. https://quizlet.com/MissMaddieMoo82 in November and October of 2019. Wish we could find the pledge manual it came from.Naraht (talk) 04:26, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The original quiz card list is from Alpha of Clovia, as it references its 2016 name change as a cooperative house. Thanks for the installation dates - I will add them. Jax MN (talk) 18:20, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
