Infobox : The infobox is missing. The template best 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 is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
Wikify : Create the infobox using the template. Upload and add a crest for the infobox. Then, add color swatches (Honor and Professional groups: clues for these include cords or stoles if colors are not easily determined). Add relevant symbolism to the infobox. Add a physical address and website. Add the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. Expand the History section. The chapter list should be placed into a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples), or as a separate standalone page when the list is lengthy (subjective, perhaps 30 chapters or more). 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. Similarly, a list of notable members may be placed into a table, with a field for references.

Best complete list that I've been able to find is in the 1991 Baird's but that is a copy of the list from 1977 and as such only goes to that point. I think the AOA website only has actives since I have had difficulty finding any list that includes "Alpha of Massachusetts" which are the letters for Harvard's inactive chapter.Naraht (talk) 11:49, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
