Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
- Citing sources : This article will benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. Use JSTOR or military-interest magazines, or LGBT-themed publications as sources.
- 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. The Controversies section is too detailed for a main article, and unfairly frames the entire national as if the event was systemic; notes about an individual chapter's closure or suspension ought to be rendered as a reference note for that particular chapter unless the event generated notable, persistent national news.
- Wikify : Needs a chapter list. It's unclear on the national website if a presence in a particular city means a full chapter or just a member that lives there. Add color swatches. Add relevant, public symbolism to the infobox. Occasionally, confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and website. Occasionally, confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. Expand the History section to include milestones. A chapter list is helpful, and should be placed into a table format, like this: Sigma Delta Rho as an example of a small page list, or like List of Delta Kappa Epsilon chapters when placed on a separate page (--to reference two unrelated examples). We use separate standalone list pages when the list is lengthy (the cutoff point is subjective, perhaps at 30 chapters or more). Some editors have added colors to the lines as a stylistic choice, and is optional. Where Greek letters are expressed, always render them within the GRC language template so that adaptive readers can correctly process them (like "{{lang|grc|ΣΧ}}"). Rather than "just" the year, a chapter list may include specific dates of chartering using the {{dts|yyyy|mm|dd}} template, or {{dts|yyyy}} or {{dts|yyyy|mm}} if the specific day is unknown. Indicate if a chapter is active by bolding its name, if inactive by using italics, and in plain text if unknown. Notes on each line will allow room where chapter references may point to collegiate portal pages (much preferable to a chapter's own website), with comments on where a chapter may have come from, interesting facts or its outcome.
