Intro to PA
[edit]Am I doing this right? I am JR btw!
I read the Wikipedia page for my Fraternity, Sigma Chi. I was thoroughly impressed by the accuracy of the post overall. It gave a very good general picture of my fraternity. To offer a critique, I believe that there is more information on the website and through written literature on which to go deeper. The wiki page only gave base information and could have dived deeper, this site would not be adequate for someone wishing to get deeper knowledge of the fraternity and its programs.
