Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

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, 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. When citing the online Baird's Manual Archive, look for a society within each of the sections, and check if it is listed on the page for a particular institution. Here is a reference template: ^[1]
Cleanup : Examples and templates are available on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
Infobox : The infobox can be checked against the template to confirm you have used all useful fields. 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. Fraternity Project practice, within Wikipedia, is that the name of the chapter is capitalized, while the word "chapter" is not capitalized. Thus: "Eta chapter", as an example.
Wikify : Add any further relevant symbolism to the infobox. Confirm from time to time that the physical address and website are correct. You could expand the History section. A table may also be used to showcase notable members, but be sure to add Inclusion Rules to avoid vanity listings.
