Talk:Franklin & Marshall College

I thought that the famous upset of the University of Pennsylvania's football team occurred in 1914, not 1915. Sciencegeekb6b3 20:34, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Does Beta Epsilon Nu actually exist? Much less F&M's "chapter".."Beta Epsilon Nu, Taz Chapter (est. 2005)"--Viannah 05:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I think that the administration has the right to hold fraternities and sororities to more stringent standards than other organizations. Other organizations don't chiefly focus on constant partying... let's be serious here. Lequis 01:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Lequis, your opinions are just that, opinions. Opinions are not facts and have no place on wikipedia. Campus politics belong on campus, not in an encyclopedia. Snoop0x7b 18:52, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Franklin & Marshall's fraternity system is a proven point of contention between F&M and the community. Irrefutably, people in Lancaster have a negative view of fraternities because of public drunkenness, vandalism, loud parties, etc.-- and F&M students come to F&M viewing Lancaster as some pathetic farm town. It's an opinion for me to say what I think of both sides of the argument, but it's fact to present these opposing viewpoints. Lequis 15:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Changed "Rural" to "Urban"

F&M campus is certainly not 'rural' by any stretch of the word. I will note, there seem to be people who want to believe "Lancaster, Pa" simply refers to a bucolic "Garden Spot" of rural Amish farmland.

That place DOES exist, and I love it dearly, but I also love the "urbaness" of Lancaster City, and defend its' place in the heart and minds of Lancastrians, and, hopefully, Fummers. Hillsboro 23:09, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

What is up with people editing out the info on Chi Phi? For some reason people keep deleting the info about the frat being the oldest continuously open chapter in the country. I know the "skull" guy aparently have some sort of issue with this-- but there house is actually the OLD Chi Phi house so perhaps they are confused about the actual history here.

Separate into two pages

This article is unusual with respect to most wikipedia college articles in that it seems to focus primarily on history. I think that it may be worthwhile to separate the page into two pages--one about the history of the college and another about the college as it is. I think this page is lacking in relevant information about the college as it is now, but I'm reluctant to add new material because the article is, in my opinion, already a bit too long. Thoughts?

What's wrong with it being long?

Relationship with the clothing brand?

Maybe someone can add information explaining the relationship between the college and the clothing brand?

Just added the section, based on a college press release. Included notes with links to merchandise. {GT}

Fair use rationale for Image:Fandmlogo.PNG

Image:Fandmlogo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
