Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
- Article requests : An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest.
- Citing sources : Most fraternity articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. These could be from the original Greek Letter Organization reference, Baird's manual (last edition published in 1991), or the online Baird's Manual Archive (now added as a reference), or a notable publication or book such as a university yearbook (please add missing collegiate yearbooks to this source!), or an official university portal (~website) listing for the group, or where the school comments publicly on that student organization.
- Cleanup : Examples and templates are available on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
- Infobox : The infobox ought to be reviewed annually. The template 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 within the F&S Project is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
- Wikify : Add relevant, public symbolism to the infobox. List the group's print publication in the infobox, italicized. Add, then occasionally confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and website. Occasionally, confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. Create a History section to include milestones. Now that the article has a chapter list, the separate listings in body text for each chapter are somewhat redundant, and not appropriate for this article. (that kind of detail, including the founders of later chapters, should instead be found on the national website when it is created. The table format of the chapter list follows examples such as: 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}})". Of course, 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. A separate table may also be used to showcase notable members, but to avoid vanity listings be sure to add a list of rules for inclusion, as discussed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Fraternities_and_Sororities/Archive_6#Notable_members_2. As an example, Phi Kappa Theta does a nice job with their notable members list.
