Stubs

{{Fraternity-stub}} or {{honor-stub}}

• Add one of these templates to the bottom of the page for stub articles.

Lists

A table is the preferred way to list notable members and chapters. If the list has more than 50 entries, it should be moved to a stand-alone article, linked to the parent page using the "main template".

Notable Members

{{Mem/fstart}}

{{Mem/f}}

• This template is for use on a list of notable people within the fraternity/sorority in separate lists (see List of Alpha Kappa Alpha sisters for an example). Parameters for name, chapter, notability, and references are included. All three templates must be used. For instance, if Gerald Ford was an initiate of Alpha Phi Omega at the University of Michigan, he would be listed below as (with an optional free image):

Name Original chapter Notability Ref. Gerald Ford Gamma Pi Thirty-eighth President of the United States (1974–1977)

Chapters

{{FratChapterStart}}

{{FratChapter}}

{{FratChapterEnd}}

• This template is similar to the one for notable members.

Name	Charter date and range	Institution	Location	Status	Notes	Ref.
Eta	May 1, 1873	Colby College	Waterville, Maine	Active

A good template example is here: Sigma Delta Rho.

Options for the Status field include:

• Active - (indicates there is current or imminent chapter or colony activity on the campus.)
• Colony - (or some derivative: Associate or Provisional Chapter may be used instead.)
• Consolidated - (for when two chapters of the same national merge. Typically used when schools merge.)
• Disbanded - Used when a chapter goes dormant at the time of a merger.
• Inactive - (or Dormant), typically for those chapters that close as a matter of routine, typically subject to potential restoration.
• Memorial - To note when a chapter name is reserved to honor deceased members.
• Merged (ΑΒΓ) - when two chapters combine under the name of the successor merger partner. In the Notes field, use "Joined the existing XX chapter" or "Became the XX chapter" to differentiate between types of mergers.
• Moved - Used when the charter is moved, following students to an adjacent school, not when reissued to another chapter. There must be a link between the groups.
• Never chartered - For dormant colonies or associate chapters that failed before chartering. (Most societies let these drop off their lists without noting them for posterity.)
• Reestablished - Used when a chapter goes inactive but is reformed with a different name at a later date.
• Reissued - Used when a charter name is given to a new group at a new school, where there is no connection to an earlier student group.
• Unassigned - Used to point out a gap in an otherwise standard series of chapter names, noting a chapter name that has not yet been assigned or was skipped.
• Withdrew - Used when a chapter does not participate in a national merger. Usage: "Withdrew, (local)" or "Withdrew, (ΑΒΓ)" to indicate their successor, if any.

The Names of active chapters and colonies should be listed in bold. Inactive chapters should be listed in italics. If a name is unassigned or its status is unknown, it should be shown in Plain text. In the body text, chapter names are rendered in italics, regardless of active status.

The Chartered field may include a date or year of closure. Subsequent periods of activity may be included, separated by a comma. Insert an em dash between the DTS tags. An em dash is unspaced (with no space on either side). Ex: March 15, 1873 – 1996; 1998

The Institution field may include either the school's old or current name. The names of closed institutions should be italicized. Redlinks are OK, indicating that an article is needed. An EFN can be added in the Reference section to explain name changes or closures.

A sortable list may be constructed manually, allowing for variations in column names. See List of Alpha Gamma Delta chapters for a good example.
