Coed mergers?

edit

Did the same-sex chapters on several campuses merge after the fraternity became co-educational? Jax MN (talk) 16:41, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I got stuck on that last night. I think it is different for each campus. The external links to the chapters are/were mostly dead (which is what I used for the notes in the tables), but one is to an existing sorority. More research is required. Rublamb (talk) 19:27, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
As reported in the Chronicle of Higher Ed in 2018, there was a sexist scandal with this group. The person in control for some 40 years was against female members, so the groups did not merge. The fraternity's website has not be updated since this scandal, but the sorority's website is active. Rublamb (talk) 22:16, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Crest

edit

The current crest used in the infobox has the fraternity's three letters in gold and black, set in the white space underneath the crest proper. I recall that that is the format used by 1980s and 1990s suppliers of window stickers for all fraternities and sororities to whom they sold their products. Hence, there is nothing about those letters that is copyrightable or can they be claimed to be part of the original design. Am I correct in assuming that the crest ought to be cropped to leave off those letters? Doing so would allow us to be more accurate in portrayal of the official crest, and improve standardized portrayal. Jax MN (talk) 18:14, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
