Eta Sigma Delta is part of the Fraternities and Sororities WikiProject, an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Greek Life on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to International social societies, local organizations, honor societies, and their members. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, visit the project page, where you can join the project, and/or contribute to the discussion.Fraternities and SororitiesWikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and SororitiesTemplate:WikiProject Fraternities and SororitiesFraternities and Sororities articles
This article is within the scope of WikiProject Higher education, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of higher education, universities, and colleges on Wikipedia.

Article requests : An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest. A History section should be created.
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 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.
Infobox : The infobox may be incomplete. 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 is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
Wikify : Occasionally, confirm the physical address and website. Occasionally, confirm or update the number of chapters and number of lifetime members. At this writing the History section is only one line; this should be expanded to a couple of paragraphs, perhaps with bullets for milestones. The chapter list should be placed into a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples), or as a separate standalone page when the list is lengthy (subjective, perhaps 30 chapters or more). A chapter list should include 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 portal pages, and allow comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome. Similarly, a list of notable members may be placed into a table, with a field for references, 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.
