WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities

WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities is a WikiProject dedicated to improving articles related to fraternities and sororities, in addition to associated umbrella organizations. Discussion concerning the project should be held on the project's talk page.

The Watchlist... is intended to list all notable groups.

How you can help

1. Write articles! Review the Watchlist for missing articles - a Red link shows you where a group's article is missing, either because it has not yet been written or it had been written, poorly, and was deleted.
2. If a group is missing, add it! Follow these naming rules, and where a name is ambiguous, offer a unique name.
3. Improve existing articles: edit for clarity and more 'neutral' language, to remove "promotional" or "Peacock" wording, and add valid reference citations.
4. You can review other Good articles, listed below, as examples and templates.
5. Where missing, offer Fair Use scans of crests (add a note to the Talk page, with a link, if you don't know how to upload). Add citations: to university websites, to larger newspapers and magazines, or to books. Fill in or add an Infobox. Add a list of chapters.
6. Always, follow these rules to ensure notability.
7. Watch for Fraternity articles that get tagged as "Articles listed for deletion", and vote as you see fit. These debates generally last 1 to 2 weeks.
8. Follow Recent Changes... to Project articles to look for vandalism, or to learn what other editors are doing.

Project Goals

The goal of WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities is to provide unbiased and in depth articles on fraternities and sororities by:

1. Removing bias and POV from fraternity and sorority articles.
   
2. Expanding all fraternity and sorority stubs.
   
3. Create articles regarding the history of the fraternity movement in North America and beyond.
4. Create a unified look for all fraternity and sorority articles.
   
5. Make pages concerning founders of organizations.
6. Properly communicate the importance of fraternities and sororities.

Templates

Talk page banner

Lists

Notable Members

{{Mem/fstart}}

{{Mem/f}}

• This template is for use on list of notable people within the fraternity/sorority in separate lists (see List of Alpha Kappa Alpha sisters for an example). Parameters for name, chapter, notability, and references are included. All three templates must be used. For example, if Gerald Ford was an initiate of Alpha Phi Omega at the University of Michigan, he would be listed below as (with an optional free image):

Name Original chapter Notability References Gerald Ford Gamma Pi Thirty-eighth President of the United States (1974–1977)

Gerald Ford

Chapters

{{FratChapterStart}} (for shorter version, see {{FratChapterStart2}})

{{FratChapter}} (for shorter version, see {{FratChapter2}})

{{FratChapterEnd}} (for shorter version, see {{FratChapterEnd2}})

• This template is pretty much just like the one for notable members. An acceptable image would be a free and quality picture of the chapter's house.
