Within the past year, many fraternity and sorority articles have had copyright violations. It probably comes from the fact that people who are not familiar with Wikipedia believe this site to be just copy and paste. Several of these articles had to deleted because of this and re-started again. However, I fail to see the need for this particular copyvio tag. I would undertstand if the entire article was copyvio but a copyvio of one section can easily be remedied if one were to take the time and be so inclined. I've done my best to revert copy and paste work from many fraternity and sorority articles to save them from the deletion block. Re-starting a fraternity and sorority article inevitably leads to the same copyvios that put them up for deletion in the first place. The best way to combat them is to fix them when you see a copyvio instead of readily tagging it. Just my two cents. --† Ðy§ep§ion † 19:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't have a problem with it as well, other than the fact that this whole page is copy vio. Granted it's not all taken from the one page that I listed but from many various ones on Alpha Chi Omega's site (I just listed the heritage one due to the fact that it's obviously copied from there, etc.) The reason I listed it as copy vio was that somebody who perhaps watches this page would pay attention to it and rewrite or fix it. I am working on a few, talking to site administrators and such trying to get these articles in shape/out of copyright vio status, but I'm also full time in school dealing with my own life so don't have the time to pay meticulous detail to each and every one of them, not to mention fixing something as blatantly obvious as this. I could just ignore the article, and leave it as is, copyright violation and all and just hope that somebody notices and fixes it, or I could post it as being a copyright violation and hope that somebody fixes it before it gets deleted. --ImmortalGoddezz 21:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fun Facts

Somebody keeps adding the 'Neil Armstrong's wife's badge is on the moon because she was in Alpha Chi' Given the fact that being the wife of Neil Armstrong would be notable enough, neither of his wives (He was married twice) is on the notable list on Alpha Chi Omega's site. I cannot verify this info on the official website at all. If you want to add this again please cite sources so it can be verified (keep in mind a link to a chapter website is not a valid source). Thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz 18:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

EVERY SORORITY CLAIMS TO HAVE A BADGE ON THE MOON OR IT HAS BEEN TO THE MOON. IT IS ALL MYTH. URBAN LEGEND.-jackjackattack

No need to yell (Capitalize everything), and I am aware of that which is why I asked for sources before reinstating that particular piece of information or else it'll be removed. That's all. --ImmortalGoddezz 02:56, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
