 To-do list for Gamma Sigma: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2024-09-14

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
- Citing sources : Most fraternity articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. High school fraternities were profiled in early versions of Baird's manual through ~1940. Or reference a notable publication or book, or a high school yearbook. Yearbooks may be found here, and for Gamma Sigma, you'll find a trove of high school yearbooks, by city and state, in a link under the "See also" section of that article, called Ancestor Hunt: university yearbook (please add missing collegiate yearbooks to this source!). Check also where the school comments publicly on the student organization.
- Cleanup : Examples and templates are available on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
- 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 : Add a physical address for the remaining alumni organization, a website if you have more than a Facebook page, confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. Add relevant symbolism to the infobox. Expand the History section. The chapter list, available on scanned pages 101-102 of the fine Atkinson 100-yr History, referenced, should be placed into a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples). Were there more chapters formed than the 119 noted in that book? 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 allow comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome. This will help Geneologists, archivists, and those seeking to connect with a chapter or even restart a chapter.
