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".

Name | Chartered | Institution | Location | Status | Notes | Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Eta | May 1, 1873 | Colby College | Waterville, Maine | Active | Merged ΓΩ | [1] [a] |
A good template example is here: Sigma Delta Rho.
Options for the Status field include:
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. Note, 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, for clarity. 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 old name or the current name of the school. 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.
The Notes field may highlight short items of interest to members of the broader readership, not just that particular chapter. This field can easily get out of hand; best to post "Winner of Albert Johnson Clean Yard Award five times in the 1990s" as an EFN. Or better yet, skip it, and leave that tidbit to the chapter's website. The goal of the table is to offer a standardized, encyclopedic summary.
Where a chapter list ought to include fields such as "Date range" instead of "Chartered", or "Province" instead of "Location" a sortable list may be constructed manually, such as was done for the List of Alpha Gamma Delta chapters.
