To-do list for Delta Phi Epsilon (professional): edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2022-03-22 Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Wikify : Add relevant, public symbolism to the infobox. 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. Expand the History section to include milestones. Any 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. 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.

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]

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]
