Delta Kappa is part of the Fraternities and Sororities WikiProject, an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Greek Life on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to International social societies, local organizations, honor societies, and their members. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, visit the project page, where you can join the project, and/or contribute to the discussion.Fraternities and SororitiesWikipedia:WikiProject Fraternities and SororitiesTemplate:WikiProject Fraternities and SororitiesFraternities and Sororities articles
Article requests : An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest. Researchers should confirm whether Delta Kappa Omicron (local) at SUNY Fredonia and Delta Kappa Sigma (local) at SUNY Canton are historically linked to Delta Kappa. Names are similar to other NY branches.
Citing sources : Most fraternity articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. These could be from Baird's manual (last edition published in 1991), or a notable publication or book, a university yearbook, an official university portal listing or where the school comments on the student organization.
Infobox : The infobox still needs work; while there is a field for it, the graphic for the pin is quite large and should be reduced or moved outside as a separate graphic.
Update : When calling out specific chapters in the body text, italicize the name of the chapter. Wikipedia practice is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
Wikify : Add relevant symbolism to the infobox. Expand the History section. The chapter list is a non-standard style and should be placed into a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples), or as a separate standalone page when the list is lengthy (subjective, perhaps 30 chapters or more). A chapter list should include dates of chartering. Indicate if a chapter is active by bolding its name, or if inactive by using italics. A table will allow room where chapter references may point to portal pages, and allow comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome. "Status" should be limited to how it stood at separation, and is not intended to follow what happened after it left Delta Kappa.
A userbox for DK members can be added to your page. Template:User_Delta_Kappa Just add the code {{User Delta Kappa}} to your page. Gooseneck41 16:15, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This user is a member of a Delta Kappa local fraternity.
The original author is not a member of DK and has no control over the referenced material. For full disclosure, the author is a member of Sigma Pi, the fraternity that DK merged into in 1964, well before I was born.
Judging from the other fraternity articles I have seen on wikipedia, the amount of DK related source articles are about the same, if not less, than other fraternity articles. If there is something that I am not seeing please correct me.
It would be nice to start this section but I have not found anyone of note I can confirm as being a member. Would alumni from the independent New York chapters (after 1953) be considered DK alumni? Although they are seperate legal entities they share the same colors, history, and ritual, as well as similar names.
The number of chapters that it has would, IMO, be more than enough for a current Fraternity, and once notable always notable. I think the Notability notice should be removed.Naraht (talk) 15:33, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We are trying to find out if Delta Kappa Omicron at SUNY Fredonia and Delta Kappa Sigma at SUNY Canton have any relationship with Delta Kappa other than having similar names. Such as, were they founded by transfers from other SUNY institutions that did have DK local chapters. Neither were listed in the DK pledge manual of 1959 as ever being chapters of the national organization. Both are local fraternities.
Which are the two surviving chapters, as noted in the lede? The Table doesn't indicate these. Jax MN (talk) 02:32, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
