This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Kappa Gamma Delta article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Kappa Gamma Delta 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 : Clarify that happened to Beta chapter and the other two early names in the alphabetical order. Were these actually assigned as chapters?
Citing sources : Could use additional citations. These could be from Baird's manual, or a notable publication or book, a university yearbook or official university portal for the student organization.
Copyedit : The body text presently notes one or two women who established each chapter. This veers toward "Puffary", even though that may not have been the intent. The Project standard is to include names *and Wikilinks) for founders of the national fraternity or sorority, but not of individual chapters. These names should be omitted.
Verify : Confirm color swatches are correct. Pantone or hex code specified?
Wikify : Upload and add a color version of the crest to the infobox. Add relevant symbolism to the infobox. The chapter list is now in a table format, but is incomplete without a clear identification of inactive Beta, Gamma and Delta chapters. 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 be sure to add Inclusion Rules to avoid vanity listings.
It appears that these three chapter names had been unused as of March, 2024. I'd have listed them as unassigned, for clarity when some readers might expect name assignments to be made in standard alphabetical order. But an earlier version of the KGD website explained that the organization had formed a Beta chapter in the same year as founding of the national sorority, in 1994. Was this an error, and indeed, this chapter name was never assigned? If so, the connection to Berkeley should be removed and it should simply be noted, like Gamma and Delta, as unassigned.
