Motto

What exactly is the motto of Delta Zeta? Since someone keeps on deleting it without explanation. --Dysepsion 20:34, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delta Zeta's motto is something that the initiates try to keep private. If you want to know, pledge! ;) ---- CNovio
- I was referring to the open motto (if it has one) not the secret one =) --† Ðy§ep§ion † 05:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Behold the turtle, she only makes progress by sticking her neck out.
Delta Zeta does not have a uniform open motto. Many chapters use the one about the turtle listed above, but it is not a nationally recognized thing. The turtle was not Delta Zeta's officialy mascot until the 2006 convention in Arizona. There it was eventually voted on and passed. Before that it was an unofficial mascot-like Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Chi Omega using the angel. It is not in the ritual or anything like that. Delta Zeta does have a secret motto (if you want to call it that) that is delivered in their formal ritual however it is embedded so that even if someone saw it, they'd probably not know what it was. ~~eelmonkey
Delta Zeta's motto is secret. There is no official public motto.- Michelle

Notable Alumnae

Please visit here before adding to the notable alumnae section. I have also deleted non wiki people, and removed non verifiable people as of so far. If I can verify them, I will add them back on the list. Also if you want to add people to the notable alumnae list please add their chapter affiliation, anybody can add 'courtney cox' but saying she's something like 'alpha rho' chapter makes it much easier to verify. Thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz 19:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy section

The major issue in the DePauw case would seem to be if DZ revoked active status on the basis of appearance. I've added a little bit to the section on this, but it could use some serious improvement.--141.212.111.116 14:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q: On forum removal. Where else would we hope to find a response from the Alumnae members? That one side in this discussion has a website and the other doesn't seems to made fair coverage difficult. --141.212.111.116 17:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Read Wikipedia's policy on bulletin boards and reliable sources. --† Ðy§ep§ion † ^{Speak your mind} 17:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Read it and understand it (before I posted comment in fact). But A) is a guideline and B) Doesn't address the question of NPOV when only one "side" in a contested situation has a website.--141.212.111.116 19:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
