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: add publication name. The template 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.
Maintain : Set a calendar reminder to update the chapter list and otherwise check the article for necessary updates, annually.
Update : Formatting note: 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. Actually, any "chapter controversies" may be better situated as reference notes attached to specific chapters where the issue is not systemic or widespread to the fraternity.
I pledged in 1993. That was the word used. 14 weeks I think. Pledges were lined up for hours, made to do things in sub zero weather for 6+ hours, scavenger hunt, hell week, etc.. I never heard of this Associated Membership. This article mentioned No Pledging a few times, but reality is different. Every chapter we visited in mid 1990s also had pledges. I believe this should be mentioned in the article. Also there was maybe 1 Jewish member in the fraternity, the rest were Irish, Italian, Puerto Rican, Filipino and AA. Cheers!

Zeta Beta Tau National Headquarters does not condone such action. Actions taken by individual chapters are created by the dynamic differences in location and culture at different colleges. It is hard to directly mention this in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bwhittybro (talk • contribs) 18:34, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Should the events at Rider and Miami universities really be included in this article? It does not appear that they garnered any type of attention except for campus news. I think they should be removed. Gooseneck4115:35, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
