The history and founding is long enough as is. Other fraternities pages include other information that I think would be very interesting to this article. For instance having a picture of the Delt Badge, maybe even the Pledge Badge as well. Also information on the Rainbow Society would be interesting to add. Maybe a picture of the Karnea would also add a nice touch to the page as well as a very brief description on how the Fraternity operates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.95.170.139 ( talk) 18:42, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Right now I'm about to do an edit and move the *very* long history down below the Mission and Values and the Delt Creed. I'm asking for opinions on whether to remove the history almost entirely in that it is way too long or perhaps even create a separate article for it. 68.204.200.39 The history right now is good. Perhaps we could cut out one of the two (redundant) mottos, or creeds, or whatever they may be, and keep just one. Resonanteye

This entry REEKS of "puff". How's about a non-brother re \write this page. I'm sure y'all think your organization is wonderful, but as much as I love Shawn Green, yer all just frat boys and can't be trusted to write an objective history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.163.18 ( talk) 00:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
The edit war is about
In addition to the creed, the Fraternity's Secret Word is only known by initiated brothers. excellent...not Spam
Whether this is accurate or not, no idea. Totally trivial information though. But not a reason to erase the information. (unsigned)
Is there a reason not to have links to Wikipedia articles of schools and/or chapters? In the big table where all the chapters and schools are listed?
If you want to edit that chart, be my guest. 68.204.200.39 01:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
I see there are a bunch of links in External links to home pages of chapters. I suggest they be put in the table with the chapter name, just the [URL] link without any explanation inside it. That's better than a bunch of hard to find external links below. Gene Nygaard 01:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Just because you can link it doesn't mean you should link it. I just took a bunch out. Gene Nygaard 02:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I did some cleaning of the links in the table today ALPHA and GAMMA MU. I think it looks fine and gets the point across that you can get the information by clicking there. I have more to say regarding chapters below. Moof 08:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Seems like there was a consensus reached here that the chapter links belonged in the table, not in the external links section, yet they were still in both places. I merged them into the table. ENDelt260 16:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I think "University of" and the like should be ignored in sorting by school. Gene Nygaard 16:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
It would probably be worthwhile to list all chapters. This table is roughly taken from the Fraternity's homepage at www.delts.org, albeit the older version. Some of the "active" chapters on this table are no longer active.
Due to the current state of fraternity liability, DTD seems to open 2 or 3 groups and close just as many each year. Additionally, many openings are returns to closed campuses. Rather than having to delete or move chapters out of the active list, a section to note their status seems more appropriate. Moof 08:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Who the hell is Dax Strickland? He gets zero hits on Google. Doesn't sound very famous to me. ENDelt260 16:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I removed all the weird snippets that sounded like bits of instruction on how to write the piece, from the piece. Also I put the creed-motto-whatever the heck that was into quotation marks, where it belonged, and de-capitalized the Words that Were Like That. I also removed all POV stuff from the former member/founding member section. These must be facts that can be verified by an outside source, and someone being "strong" or "powerful" or "committed" doesn't bode well, unless there is a reference that says it. I also move that all red names in the notable section that don't meet notability guidelines get deleted. That is all, hope it was helpful. Resonanteye 15:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
This article appears to contradict itself. It lists the founder as John Calhoun Johnson in the caption of his picture, but in the accompanying paragraph, his name is listed as "John Calvin Johnson." If someone could clear this up, that would be great. Pygmypony 15:06, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
