Yikes. Clever wording but I think neutrality is highly debatable. Also needs some fixing. --NateDSaint (talk) 21:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like it has been alternately worked on by people bashing the frat and by people advertising the frat, definitely not neutral or encyclopedia grade material. Osro (talk) 17:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moving discussion from the article

I'd have to check the history to see who added the following:

The First paragraph is 90% true. Kind of lame when the writer refers to himself in 3rd person though using quotes. I think that losing thousands of dollars on each Fry Street Fair didn't help the house situation either. Yes, for some reason no one thought that no one would want to live in a house that had parties 24/7 and smelled of beer and the ones that did spent their money on beer and not rent.
I can't believe there is no mention of the once annual haunted house. I was the pledge class president in 1989/90. I made it all the way to the last weekend of pledging until my now wife gave me the ultimatum...leave Delta or I leave you. Since I guess I am still married, you can figure out my choice. Nonetheless, the brohers were the best and still treated me as family the rest of my time at NTSU/UNT. So back to the haunted house. That had to be my favorite. People drove from everywhere to see it. Talk about a scary basement.

There is no need for a warning here we shall let the facts speak for themselves.

As far as one may gather the Delta Lodge is not an actual organization sanctioned by any governing body, as reportd by the dallas buisness journal, they are in deed now a defunct organization. Just as they were when their original sigma ties were cut due to outward pressure from the University and student body/victims. The organizations gross misapropriations of funds in the name of severel charities (who state the donations were sporatic and far between at best while their names were herelded as recepients consistently) was ultimatley its down fall(source: http://www.cityofdenton.com/pages/citycouncminutes.cfm?Minutes03222005.pdf&object=1561&folderID=459&fileID=3033&action=view

However, this doesn't belong in the article; if anywhere, it belongs on the talk page. Ergo, I've moved it. —C.Fred (talk) 02:42, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How is this now defunct organization notable for publish? I notice that this page has not been verified nor does it posses sources, it seems to be a testamonial for apologists, see the "WARNING," abot "love" being real and detractors.... while public opinion might leave much to be desired. One may even inferr that this is infact a feel good commercial for this recreational group.

Neutral point of view

A reminder to all editors that articles should present a neutral point of view. The article should neither be sheer boosterism nor should it be unfounded attacks. Additionally, the biographies of living people apply when adding information about people. Put simply, if you don't have a reliable source to back up the text, don't add it to the article. —C.Fred (talk) 17:18, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

How is this fraternity notable? I'm not sure that, as a stand-alone local fraternity, it's a notable organization. —C.Fred (talk) 20:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
