Hello, I'm
Naraht. I noticed that you recently removed some content from
Kappa Sigma without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks.

The page on Wikipedia is a page *about* Kappa Sigma, not owned by Kappa Sigma, please read the Wikipedia page on Ownership: WP:OWN and Conflict of Interest WP:COI. I appreciate that there may be areas like the chapter listings and the current policies where your knowledge may exceed almost anyone who may edit Wikipedia, but wikipedia goes based on what is referencable, with a very definite preference toward Secondary sources (Though Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities, a tertiary source is also very useful).
I am a member of a Collegiate Fraternity as well (Alpha Phi Omega), and both declare it on my user page User:Naraht and admit to a conflict of interest when it comes to editing pages related to the Fraternity. I still have managed to add a *great* deal which is non controversial such as dates of activity and inactivity and notable members. I've also dealt with my own fraternity's PR representative. Naraht ( talk) 15:35, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm also curious as to the fraternity's position on the Mottos. Based on various sources, two mottos are included: Bononia Docet ("Bologna Teaches") and A.E.K.Δ.B. there was a user about 3 years ago would deliberately took a username equal to what he said A.E.K.Δ.B. stood for. He was *quite* annoying, continuing to try to add that information to the article, until I believe he was eventually banned. So while that supposed information does still exist in the Wikipedia user talk archives, the location is certainly not obvious. As I said, I'm also a member of a Greek Letter Organization that does have private information, so I understand exactly how far it can be stuffed away within Wikipedia's rules.

See Talk:Kappa_Sigma#Google_Books_searches for previous research on this. (Yes, I was the one to do the research, I admit). The 1898 Baird's is one of the places to start ( https://books.google.com/books?id=SVMPNd0AefUC&pg=PA143) I can see tweeking the description of this slightly, but I don't have a clue what would be an appropriate opposing reference to *the* reference for Fraternities published 100 years ago.
