Comments
edit- 1. Delta Psi's new facility was a magnificent Queen Anne structure built in 1882 by deceased Burlington businessman Edward Wells. Magnificent here seems a little non-neutral. The description is enough; readers should determine for themselves whether it is magnificent or not.
- 2. That year, several members were arrested during what university officials described as a hazing incident in which it was alleged[...] You should add a citation here, to be on the safe side, as it seems mildly controversial and, as it occurred in 2003, may involve living people which means it should probably be source.
- 3. It's also been speculated... by whom?
- 4. UVM Williams Hall picture is not related to the topic beyond both being related to UVM. Was the organization founded in Williams Hall? Were ceremonies held there? What does the picture provide beyond mere decoration?
- (Optional) Text sandwiched between two images doesn't look very good, but WP:IMAGES compliance isn't required.
