Alpha Delta Theta (social) is part of the Fraternities and Sororities WikiProject, an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Greek Life on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to International social societies, local organizations, honor societies, and their members.

Article requests : An additional, freely-licensed graphic would add reader interest.
Citing sources : Most fraternity articles would benefit from additional citations, especially new or updated references. These could be from Baird's manual (last edition published in 1991), or a notable publication or book, a university yearbook, an official university portal listing or where the school comments on the student organization.
Infobox : The infobox is incomplete. The template best used for this entry, where you can see all available fields (--these things: "| = ''text'' ) is the fraternity-specific infobox. This, and other useful items are linked on the Fraternities and Sororities Project page.
Update : When calling out specific chapters in the body text, italicize the name of the chapter. Wikipedia practice is that the word "chapter" is not capitalized, while the name of the chapter is.
Wikify : Add relevant symbolism to the infobox. Expand the History section. The chapter list should be placed into a table format, like this: Omega Tau Sigma or Sigma Delta Rho (to reference two unrelated examples), or as a separate standalone page when the list is lengthy (subjective, perhaps 30 chapters or more). A chapter list should include dates of chartering. Indicate if a chapter is active by bolding its name, or if inactive by using italics. A table will allow room where chapter references may point to portal pages, and allow comments on where a chapter came from, interesting facts or its outcome.
Sorority history notes that the founding group, at Transylvania College (Lexington, KY) was affiliated with nearby Hamilton College, also in Lexington. Apparently, Hamilton was a wholly-owned subsidiary school of Transylvania College. As the affiliation with a junior college prevented Alpha Theta from joining an NPC sorority, this begs several questions:
How many chapters did Alpha Theta have, prior to petitioning the "unnamed sorority" for membership? Was the petition declined simply because one or more members of Alpha Theta were students at the affiliated junior college, making the Transylvania chapter less acceptable?
If the Hamilton group was a separate chapter, ought it be listed among the Alpha Delta Theta chapters? As things stand, it appears it was just a feeder school for Alpha chapter
Were there any other Alpha Theta chapters that ought to have been listed in the chapter table, even if these were eventually disbanded with the creation of Alpha Delta Theta? The dialog explains quick formation of eight chapters after 1919, but without a separate Hamilton branch. Jax MN (talk) 16:12, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
