This Article needs serious work

Let's display the organization's coat of arms in the InfoBox (as we already do for Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Epsilon Delta, Sigma Tau Delta, Alpha Phi Omega, Phi Alpha Theta, and Tau Beta Pi to name just a few). Also, let's have a Chapter List which may or may not be a separate article. I might do the latter, but will someone please help me display the Coat of Arms on the InfoBox?

If it helps, I'm one of the primary editors on the Alpha Phi Omega Article (as well as some of the related articles like List of Alpha Phi Omega chapters. Things that I'd like to see done with this article on first glance

• The article should be moved to Beta Beta Beta from Tri Beta, but Tri Beta and Tri-Beta should certainly be kept as redirects. Beta Beta Beta is the official name of the organization.
• The copyright violation text should be brought back and rewritten, preferably with a separate table for the conventions. References to the timeline if appropriate should be made for the chapters that never existed. The situation in China may rate its own section.
• With as many chapters as the group has, it should be moved to another page and the colleges wikilinked.Naraht (talk) 12:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Those Chapters definitely existed at some point, but they are now disbanded. (Again about how that's the only way the dates wouldn't stack up with the Greek Alphabet. Also, the History Page on the National Website speaks of an Omega Chapter being founded, but no such chapter appears on the List of Local Chapters Page (clearly a now-disbanded chapter).) Nevertheless, I get your general point and support the moves. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 07:16, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Just to move this into a separate discussion. I propose that Tri-Beta be moved to Beta Beta Beta. The official name of the organization is Beta Beta Beta. I see no problem with keeping Tri-Beta as a redirect.Naraht (talk) 16:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Support. Heck yes, I've always wondered why the Article was listed at the nickname in the first place. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 07:17, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Chapters

According to Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities, Omega was at Knox, Rho was Gettysburg, Beta Lambda was at Tulane, Zeta was at Michigan State (30 years after most of the other single letter chapters) (looking for the others).Naraht (talk) 12:51, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Order of chapter letters...

A note on the order that chapter letters are assigned would be welcome, both personally and for the article.Naraht (talk) 15:42, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
