Inactive chapters
[edit]Is there any reason to exclude inactive chapters from the list (assuming their prior existence can be verified)? —C.Fred (talk) 21:28, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
- Project volunteers should certainly update this list to our standard, noting both active and inactive groups, their dates of activity, cities and states/provinces. When ready, here are a couple of references to use when listing the Wesleyan College chapter, in Georgia:
{{Efn|This chapter originated as the Philomathean Society, established in 1852, and which renamed itself with an aim to national expansion in 1904.}}{{efn|In an August 1912 report published in ‘’the Adelphean’’, Ms. Newell Mason, a faculty member at Wesleyan and Historian for Alpha Delta Pi, noted that “College authorities are violently opposed to sororities.” A ten-year battle was fought by several NPC organizations, but lost in 1917 when the last members of its four sororities, [[Alpha Delta Pi]], Phi Mu, [[Zeta Tau Alpha]] and [[Delta Delta Delta]] graduated.}} <ref>{{cite web |last1=Becque |first1=Fran |title=What Happened to Sororities at Wesleyan College? |url=https://www.franbecque.com/what-happened-to-sororities-at-wesleyan-college/ |website=Fraternity History & More |access-date=29 August 2023 |date=27 May 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Wesleyan College Archives & Special Collections |url=https://wesleyancollege.libguides.com/archives/sororities |publisher=Wesleyan College |access-date=29 August 2023}}</ref>

Revised table
[edit]The list of Phi Mu chapters has been updated to the Fraternities and Sororities Project standard. Default sort is by installation date. The table now includes dates of original installation where we have them, sortable columns, separate city and state columns, and notes listing predecessor locals. Many chapters show only a year of installation; other editors should update these dates with specific installation dates, using this format: {{dts|1901|02|15}}, where the "DTS" forces sortability, the "02" indicates February, and the "15" indicates the fifteenth of the month. In this field, the DTS template is only necessary with the first date for sorting; other datesd may omit the DTS template. Examples of 'full dates' are scattered throughout the List, which were found in the sorority's 130th History - it is cited among the references. Jax MN (talk) 00:08, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
A couple of French or Hebrew predecessor names
[edit]Naraht, would you check my usage of a Hebrew letter in the EFN for the University of Washington Eta Beta chapter that came from an early Achoth group? It had been named Hey. Maybe I'm being too picky to add it, but in case someone is researching an early member it may shed some light on an insignia on a pin or document. Fix or adjust, as you wish. I appreciate it.

- Jax MNHebrew letter is fine. Of course it contradicts the information as to the groups which took Phi Omega Pi chapters at the time of merging from Baird's. We probably should have the actual hebrew letters in the Phi Omega pi group... I've linked the hebrew letter. French?
- French phrases, really. "Entre Amis", for which I translated as Between Friends, plus a variant. I'd gotten to thinking that foreign word phrases are often italicized, and later read that the LANG template can be used to manage these. Probably unnecessary, but I was on a roll. Thanks for fixing the Hebrew. Jax MN (talk) 08:06, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
