Lists of Greek Houses

@TheProphetIcculus: lists of Greek institutions are better placed on list pages, since their content relevance for an encyclopedia is marginal. Also, there is not enough reliable documentation about them. Most Wikipedia editors agree that rote listings of Greek institutions are not helpful if there is no sourcing from outside the Ball State homepage or the fraternity's own circle. If you can prove that one or more of the Greek houses is significant, then pls do so, but for the most part, individual houses fall under WP:UNDUE. That is, they are not significant enough for an encyclopdia. Here is an example of the lists, which are more appropriate. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 06:46, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one chimed in on this, I will go ahead and streamline, as described above. --Melchior2006 (talk) 06:36, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
