Jax MN - I went behind the displayed data by altering the url to see all of the data entries including the inactive ones. I know we had an edit conflict, but I've included what I've found. Naraht (talk) 17:25, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I completed table entries for the first series, up thru Delta Delta. I don't believe we've lost anything due to edit conflicts. I have misgivings about stepping away from the order in Bairds, as that is our default. Maybe if the chapters were installed in the same year, but what about the placement of Kappa in the list? Is (age) rank more important than alphabetical precision? As long as we are consistent Project-wide, that's probably the right goal. But some large nationals segment by state. Dunno. Jax MN (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, segmenting by state is a different ball of worms. The list of OKU supreme has Kappa being in 1921, not 1924, which restores the proper order.Naraht (talk) 17:39, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OKU HQ sent me this citable PDF. Omicron Kappa Upsilon: a historical and current perspective, published March 2011.

Can you actually see the contents or not? Naraht (talk) 19:45, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - they sent me a PDF. I'm using it for the article. Jax MN (talk) 23:31, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also asked for it but haven't gotten it. I'd love it if you could email it to me. (email me though wikipedia and I'll email back to give you my address)

Also, see you on sigma Lambda Alpha. :)Naraht (talk) 23:34, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Naraht I sent you an email. Additionally, as I wrapped up the table I spilled a glass of water on my keyboard and it's been duplicating numbers and getting all kinds of screwy results. Argh! I have to wait till it dries out. One of the references about OKU said that they meet nationally with the dental hygiene honor society, sort of as a sister society. That may be a good reference for them. It was a recent citation. Jax MN (talk) 00:34, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wonder if these groups (4 frats, dental honor and dental hygiene honor) belong in a wikipedia cat.Naraht (talk) 12:30, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are right. Jax MN (talk) 14:28, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
