Please list and explan. J. D. Redding 20:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I can vouch for most of this information. I'll see If I can find my old pledge book ... but everything seems in line. J. D. Redding 05:25, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I have just started getting involved with wikipedia here. I work for the Fraternity Headquarters (I'll do my best to maintain an unbiased POV) though and would like to offer help getting references for everything in the article. There are 2 sources that come to mind that will have most of the information we need: the Fraternity website (sigmataugamma.org) and a book the Fraternity publishes called The Chain of Honor. There are others. I am not familiar with wikipedia standards though and will need to figure out how to add references. addisonschopp 16:34, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
I just reverted an edit that deleted 2 members from our notable alumni section. One was the baceball hall of fame gentleman (whos name excapes me as I type right now) and the other was Senitor John Ashcroft (Honarary Beta chapter). I am posting this because I think it was a good faith edit, and want to know why someone thinks these two men shouldn't be included. Coffeepusher ( talk) 18:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't Dennis Miller be added? He joined Sig Tau at Point Park University in PA. He might be a major a-hole, but he's still a notable alumnus. 1brownsfan ( talk) 23:38, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
I understand that Martin Davey was an Iota Hon alum (Kent State) 74.219.182.50 ( talk) 03:43, 10 June 2009 (UTC)David
Please have a look. I won't pretend that the descriptions are all perfect grammatically or by wikipedia standards. addisonschopp 16:30, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Included descriptions of the function of chapters, alumni chapters, alumni associations, the grand chapter and board of directors. Moved the Foundation section after it. Thoughts? addisonschopp 14:50, 20 May 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Addisonschopp ( talk • contribs)
For those with a strong interest in improving this article, a great goal (and by no means an easy one) is to work to make this a featured article. I'm really not an expert on this, and I've only been actively editing for a few months, but I did bring a formerly pathetic piece to featured status recently. Here's what I would do:

@ Blevy97: I've stated this in my edit summaries and on your talk page, but just to make it clear, I have reverted your edits because: they removed all references from the article wholesale; removed the peacock tag without actually changing the peacock language of the article; and changed the capitalisation of various words and section headers in ways that go against the manual of style. Whether you intended to or not, you also removed the infobox.
I can see that you're trying to improve the article, but at the moment there are too many problems with the edit. Please could you explain what changes you want to make here, so we can work out how to implement them (assuming they're appropriate under Wikipedia policy)? Marianna251 TALK 21:17, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
Passing by. This is an absurd level of detail that is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Your page exists because your organization passes the notability guide, that's all. Provide some history, some facts, anything else that may be newsworthy and of interest to a general reader. The Wikipedia is not the place to list the "society of the seventeen" and other excruciatingly-tiny details about a fraternity organizational structure. The infobox has a link to the official website where interested readers can find this sort of information, that is sufficient. ValarianB ( talk) 14:10, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
