Welcome!
Hello, Orsonscottcard, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Theta Alpha Omega, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{ helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

A tag has been placed on Theta Alpha Omega requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A tag has been placed on Theta Alpha Omega requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

As reviewing administrator, I have deleted the article as being exclusively promotional about the subject. It would be possible to write an article that would not be, but that would require complete rewriting. I would not delete it by A7 , no claim of importance, but I would certainly send it to AfD, where it will almost certainly be deleted. National fraternities usually do have e sufficient sources to show their importance. Ones confined to one college almost never do. At present, this one apparently is still in the process of establishing itself,and that translates to "not yet notable." When the time comes that you do have references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases, then write an article. Even then, do not copy from your web site -- even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

Hi Orsonscottcard, I raised a question about your username here. My take on the policy is that even though you've admitted that you are not OSC, that it is still a violation of our user name policy. I have, however, asked that others who are more intiment with the naming policy review it and advise. This is not intended to be negative or meanspirited, as you are definitely trying to do the right thing, I just want to make sure that your user name is acceptable.--- Balloonman NO!
