Oldest continuous active chapter of any fraternity claim
This has been continually changed so I would like to point this out for future reference. Phi Kappa Psi does NOT have the oldest continuous active chapter of any collegiate fraternity. Chi Psi at Hamilton College was established in 1845, a full 10 years BEFORE Phi Kappa Psi's claim. It has never been shut down. [1]. Moreover Phi Delta Theta has a chapter founded in 1850 which has been uninterrupted. There may also be more older uninterrupted chapters but at best, Phi Kappa Psi has the third longest continuous active chapter. ----Ðysepsion †Speak your mind 17:17, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oops!
Just wanted to noted that I left out a “no” in an edit summary. I meant to write “so no violation”. —SlamDiego←T 05:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion to Move William Beebe Rape to Separate Article
Seeing as no Phi Psis were convicted in the crime, it is inappropriate for this incident to be at the center of an article about Phi Kappa Psi.

I agree. William Beebe was in no way associated with the fraternity and neither was the victim. The crime has more in common with the university than it does with the fraternity. Both victim and perpetrator were students of the university.Tmpafford (talk) 18:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I can find no other fraternity on Wikipedia has been subjected to this kind of persecution, identification, and possible slander just because the name of the fraternity was mentioned in a news article. Fraternities and fraternity members are no more likely to commit a controversial or criminal act than the general population of the university. I would like to see that this whole section be stricken from the fraternity's page and moved to a separate page or, at the very least, to the page of the university in which the controversies are associated.Tmpafford (talk) 19:11, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Tmpafford, not sure why Phi Kappa Psi is the only fraternity on Wikipedia that has a section like this. I know at Ole Miss, the Beta Theta Pi chapter has made national news several times, including dropping a white pledge off naked with racial slurs written all over him in the center of a nearby "traditionally black" college. (They got kicked off of campus for that incident.) I say remove the entire section.Jmerchant29 (talk) 19:49, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Let's reset the clock with this discussion to the RfC that was just posted below. NYCRuss☎ 11:27, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Possible move of the William Beebe rape section to new bio article
When discussion has ended, remove this tag and it will be removed from the list. If this page is on additional lists, they will be noted below.
Suggestion to move the section about a rape that occurred in a Phi Kappa Psi house to a separate article. There are no records that the convicted rapist was ever a member of the fraternity. NYCRuss☎ 11:26, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
