Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
- Article requests : An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest. Confirm that the gold swatch is correct. Alternatively, if the darker gold of the crest is to be used, here is the HEX code: A57C00. The link to that color's article remains the same. Create a chapter list table.
- 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. If used on the main article, add this source as a ref. Here is a reference template to use, already linking to the document with Kappa Delta Phi:
[1]
- Cleanup : Examples and templates are available on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
- Infobox : The infobox may need work. Typically, long mission statements should be placed into body text. 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.
- Verify : The lede says, "They have a sorority by the same name, Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority." This wording is kludgy, and "have" implies ownership. Did they incorporate it? Merely inspire it? Do they control it? Is it a subordinate group?
- Wikify : The affiliated sorority should have its own page, which can be linked from this article, mutually. List the group's print publication in the infobox, italicized. Confirm the physical address (including the ZIP code field) and website. Confirm the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. The History section is pretty detailed, and some of the milestones may need to be cut. Major missing sections include "Symbolism and traditions" and "Chapters". A chapter list should be placed into a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples). A chapter list may include specific 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 point to collegiate portal pages, and allow comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome. A 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.
