Pages I've made or fixed

In about 2019 I gave up tracking here all the pages on Wikipedia where I've made major edits. Thus this is an incomplete list. My participation with the F&S Project has led to my editing several thousand pages on the Project Watchlist, whether extensively, or in a minor way. I have created perhaps 50 new pages, offered many hundreds of image posts, mostly for the academic (social), honors, professional, and other fraternities and sororities, along with their founders, chapter lists, notable member lists, and other pages related to these.

General resources;

• List of US collegiate yearbooks - List category page - view stats Created this page, which I think will be a valuable resource for Greek Organization research.
• List of coordinate colleges - List category page - colleges view stats Created this page, which I think will be a valuable resource for Fraternity and Sorority Project volunteers.

New general fraternity pages:

• Chi Tau - dormant national fraternity - view stats. Created this page. I learned a distinguished alumnus from Phi Sig's Alpha Deuteron Chapter had been a member of a chapter of that fraternity which, on the Illinois campus, had merged with Alpha Deuteron three years after Chi Tau's small national met its demise. There had been an unaffiliated local with the same name squatting on that namespace, so I moved it to Chi Tau (local) - view stats, clarified on both pages' language that there was no connection, moved all links and created a disambiguation page.
• Sigma Delta Rho - dormant national fraternity - view stats, created this page for the dormant national when I noticed it in Baird's. Similarly a separate local (also dormant) had been squatting on that Namespace, which I moved. No connection between the two.
• Sigma Phi Sigma - dormant national fraternity - view stats, created a page for this dormant national which contributed to three chapters of Phi Sigma Kappa.
• Beta Psi - dormant national fraternity - view stats, created a page for this dormant national when I noticed it at Cornell, but without any entry in Baird's.
• Beta Sigma Rho - dormant national fraternity - view stats, I did a lot of work on this page, a fraternity that merged into Pi Lambda Phi.
• Phi Alpha (fraternity) - dormant national fraternity - view stats, I did a lot of work on the stub page for this group that merged into Zeta Beta Tau.
• Phi Sigma Delta - dormant national fraternity - view stats, I did a lot of work on the stub page, for this group that merged into Zeta Beta Tau.

• Beta Sigma Omicron - dormant national sorority - view stats, I did a lot of work on the page, including building the chapter table, a sorority that merged into Zeta Tau Alpha.
• Phi Omega Pi - dormant national sorority - view stats, Originally Achoth, I did a lot of work on the page, which merged into Delta Zeta.
• Sigma Mu Sigma - small national fraternity - view stats, I found this dismal Wikipedia page while working on the Tri-State (Trine University) page. Lots of research and cleanup here.
• Delta Pi - Canadian sorority - view stats, I created the page, which had previously been used by a squatter redirect for a fictitious 1984 movie sorority. Small Jewish national. The page was deleted by a zealous deletionist, but I have the original text, and with one more good reference I think it would past muster.
• List of Jewish fraternities and sororities - view stats, see also Talk:List_of_Jewish_fraternities_and_sororities - view stats. I did a lot of work on this incomplete list page. Its Talk page may indicate the number of readers looking for Delta Pi.
• Gamma Phi Beta - a large national sorority was being vandalized by an anonymous user attempting to post esoteric or private information from the ΓΦΒ ritual. In watching over the page and removing these repetitive and unwelcome edits I made a number of changes and found a new tools for updating swatches. - view stats
• Sigma Thêta Pi - French and Canadian international fraternity - view stats, I did a lot of work on the page for this small international fraternity.
• Defunct North American collegiate sororities - view stats, I did a lot of work on this page, showcasing maybe six small national sororities, and linked it to all of their successor groups.
• fr:Fraternité_étudiante - view stats, I did a lot of work on this French Wiki page, which previously lacked most of the societies, links and their conferences. It can get 1,200 views a day.
• Fraternities and sororities in Canada - view stats, I occasionally work on this page, and am tracking new Delta Pi references on its Talk page.
• High school fraternities and sororities - view stats, I did a lot of cleanup on this page, reformatting and adding the Jewish houses.
• Cyrus Northrop - view stats, I did an extensive rewrite of Northrop's page and added a research briefing on its Talk page. Big Greek supporter in early Minnesota years.
• List of Trine University fraternities and sororities - view stats, I did an extensive rewrite of the Trine page and this led to cleanup of many pages relating to its Greek chapters. Sigma Mu Sigma is an example. Another user moved my eventual content to a separate article, hatnoting it off the main University page.
• Kappa Beta Gamma - non NPC sorority - view stats, I provided a major rewrite of this page, which had had been slightly better than a stub. Formatting, colors, chapter table, more history, more references.
• Phi Sigma Nu - Native American fraternity - view stats, I provided a major rewrite of this page, which had had been slightly better than a stub. Formatting, colors, chapter table, more history, more references.

• Clovia (sorority) - Small national sorority - view stats, I created this page, the last of the chapters active at Minnesota that didn't already have a Wikipedia article.
• Theta Upsilon - National sorority - view stats, I completely revised this page. Before I started it looked like this. Formatting, graphics, content, colors, chapter table, more history, more references.
• Lambda Omega - National sorority - view stats, I completely revised this page. Before I started it looked like this. Formatting, graphics, content, colors, chapter table, more history, more references.
• Beta Phi Theta - small, dormant fraternity - view stats, created a page for this dormant national.

I'm woefully behind in updating this list, as my attention has turned to the entire Watchlist for the Fraternity and Sorority project. But I will occasionally add the major projects I do:

• Alpha Gamma Delta chapters - sorority - view stats, reformatted and expanded the chapter list extensively.
• Alpha Sigma Tau chapters - sorority - view stats, reformatted and expanded the chapter list extensively. (Not much traffic. Why? Here's ΑΣΤ's main page traffic: view stats)

Yet to do

Starting with the residential professional houses, and then the honor societies on campus, first cleaning up the existing pages and then starting with the oldest that need pages. For honor societies, use the above or Alpha Pi Mu as template:

Redirects I've Made

• Delta Omicron Alpha (medical)
• Alpha Theta (disambiguation)
• Chi Tau (disambiguation)
• Alpha Epsilon Rho - several redirects to this page.
• Alpha Phi Sigma (medical)
• Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station
• Gamma Epsilon Pi
• List of fraternities and sororities at the University of Georgia
  

Use the Georgia example as a template for linking to sections of university pages that highlight Greeks.

• Beta Samach
• Sigma Delta Alpha (Puerto Rico)
• Pi Epsilon Phi

I've also made many redirects from previous names for societies listed above, and many JPG pages. Example:
#REDIRECT [[Cultural_interest_fraternities_and_sororities#Armenian]]
For section redirects, add these three template lines after the #REDIRECT tag. (See Alpha Phi Sigma (medical) for another example):
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to section}}

Processional Colors

After the name of the society and the area of profession in parenthesis, add a comma, and insert the following language, updated of course with Wikilinks to your specific colors and correct swatches:
colors: {{color box|#FF0000}} [[Red]] and {{color box|#8F00FF}} [[Violet (color)|Violet]]

would result in this:

Colors:   Red and   Violet

The HEX code after the pipe identifies the color of the colorblock, and the following Wikilink connects to a page for the specific color or color family.

I found these Wikipedia pages particularly helpful in finding good Hex color numbers (# followed by six letters or numbers) that called up a specific color.

• List of colors: A–F
• List of colors: G–M
• List of colors: N–Z

Failing those many hundreds of colors, this website appears to provide an exhaustive list.

Registered color names may be found at this link or here. This second link may be the best of the two resources.

The ACHS Wikipedia page lists the colors of many of their member organizations. Jax MN (talk) 17:07, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Helpful hexidecimal converter for determining correct color swatches. --Use Paint program's eyedropper to sample a color, then using the custom color tool, assess its RGB reading. These decimal measurements will convert to a two-digit Hex number at the converter link.

For a single swatch of the Visible spectrum, see Graduate Women in Science. (I created this, and uploaded it to Commons.)

List of University of Minnesota fraternities and sororities

Published. My big project during the early summer months of 2014, this page was designed to be a WP:hatnote off the main University of Minnesota page, to a much larger discussion of these societies at the University, and to provide a comprehensive list. I've finally moved it from one of my sandboxes, creating the List of University of Minnesota fraternities and sororities. It was launched to the world as of Midnight, 29 June 2014, and I am pleased to see the reception. Now that the University main page hatnote is up, a page that itself gets 800 hits a day, it will be interesting to see how traffic continues to ramp up for the List of fraternities and sororities... Now, about 2,000 per month. I promote it on Greek twitter sites regularly.

List of Cornell University fraternities and sororities

Published. This page now receives between 30 and 200 views a day, depending on the season. I'd been researching Phi Sigma Kappa chapters across the nation, and our Gamma Chapter at Cornell University especially caught my attention. It's a venerable chapter on a venerable campus. The Greeks had been called out on the main Cornell University page with a WP:hatnote, but this high-potential page merely listed building ownership and current recognition status. I expanded it dramatically, adding professional and honor societies, and set up rules for inclusion in the list of chapters that will make it less volatile. Certainly there are other past and present societies that aren't yet listed on the page, which could be added. As source material, I noted extensive references to the University's website and to Baird's Manual. Placement of the honor and professional societies adjacent to the social and academic houses is justified, historically, and I think in the end will be beneficial to readers and prospective members of all these groups.

This project gave me the idea of drafting a similar page for the University of Minnesota.

List of Massachusetts Institute of Technology fraternities and sororities

I was alerted that an early, small version of this page had been nominated for deletion by someone with an axe to grind. They had a fair point that the page was poorly-referenced, using fluff words, inconsistent writing, and dubious claims. But the solution ought not to be to delete the page, rather to fix it. So I recast it in the "Cornell" format, as opposed to a bad copy of the dreadful Dartmouth list format. About three weeks later, after several relistings to invoke more responses, senior editors agreed that the page would stay. A terrific reference I added to the page had addresses and dates for virtually all the active societies, even many of the predecessor groups. And strangely, the page didn't even mention Baird's before I got to it. It's early summer, so as we get closer to the start of school this page should get 50 hits a day. On 22 Jun 2020 I moved my work from the Talk page and my sandbox to the mainspace. Some of the existing history section is from prior to my writing, but I jazzed it up with graphics I found in the yearbooks and better references. Hopefully some of the MIT community will provide copyright free images, as they add a nice graphical touch - I've communicated with the IFC about this, and they're engaged. Note that this campus has Phi Sigma Kappa's Omicron chapter which further caught my attention. It's a venerable chapter on a venerable campus.

Current stats are 12 hits a day. Importantly, I added two hatnotes from the main MIT page which gets 3,000 hits daily. Let's see if this juices up more support of the Fraternities page.

List of College of Wooster fraternities and sororities

Working on the Fraternities and Sororities Project watchlist, I found a Dartmouth-style page for Wooster's Greeks had been deleted. Somewhat poorly referenced, yes, but the solution ought not to be to delete the page, rather to fix it. So I recast it in the "Cornell" format and bumped up to 109 references. On 7 Jan 2021 I moved my work from my sandbox to the mainspace, adding a hatnote from the main College of Wooster page. This is a quirky, historic campus.

Current stats are 12 hits a day. Importantly, I added a hatnote from the main Wooster page which gets 160 hits daily. Let's see if this juices up more support of its Fraternities page.

Phi Sigma Kappa

Published, 3 October, 2013. Prior to my edits, the Phi Sigma Kappa page was quite short, and biased almost exclusively AGAINST the fraternity, citing a short-lived period of race turmoil that resulted in the lost of three or four chapters. The truth is that Phi Sigma Kappa has an admirable record of progressive race relations - in the best sense of that term - head and shoulders over other collegiate fraternities at the time. The article also had a biased treatment of the 1985 merger, which didn't give a weighted treatment in favor of the Merger, which for most chapters and alumni of both fraternities was strongly positive. Instead, the article showed Phi Sigma Epsilon's leaders as abrupt and cavalier in moving toward the merger, when the fact is that they bent over backwards to use the Merger to improve a bad situation. Their Fraternity was slowly dying. Further, too much emphasis was given to a small schismatic group, Phi Sigma Phi, which has now been more properly treated. I've also filled in the historical record with a summary of other decades which had been ignored or left out in the initial writing of the piece. Along with this, I've added a number of graphics, and extensively updated the list of chapters and List of Phi Sigma Kappa brothers. The main Phi Sigma Kappa page gets 150 views a day now (3,000/mo) even in "the low season," though it occasionally has spikes to 500 or 1,000. It is my fond hope that this effort to paint a more balanced picture of the Fraternity may have had some effect on the Fraternity's sudden increase in recruitment numbers.
