Individual Chapters of Greek Letter Organizations...[edit]

Hello, my name is Randolph Finder and I'm a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities. In general individual chapters of Greek Letter Fraternities aren't considered notable enough to have their own article. Zeta Phi chapter of Beta Theta Pi is a relatively unusual exception, but that is also related to the fact that it was sort of the start of its own regional fraternity before joining.

It can be difficult editing for your own fraternity without running into Conflicts of Interest (see WP:COI) but with members of at least a few different GLOs at Wikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities we tend to check each other for being overly exuberant about our own groups. Beta Theta Pi has a pretty good "members of" page and a decent "chapters of" page (For that, a header saying how chapters are made and whether there is still a method of determining the order of new chapter names would help a *lot*). The pages for the founders are also very good. The only type of page that I've seen that Beta Theta Pi doesn't have is a "National Conventions of". There is also a "Citation needed" note for a fact on the Beta Theta Pi page, maybe you can find a source for that. Just some random ideas off the top of my head.Naraht (talk) 14:12, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
