[edit] Phi Alpha Tau

Delete - "My members" and the alleged raison d'etre of the fraternity, as well as phonetically spelling "FAT", make me question the verasity of this organization. D.valued 03:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:36, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - 68,400 isn't bad on the good old google test. It is clearly not a hoax as suggested by the nominator. It makes valid claims to notoriety above and beyond being a fraternity, in that it says that it is the oldest of a particular type of fraternity in USA. And here is your verification [1]. Mind you, I should add that of 68,400 google hits, there's only 21 uniques! [2], but even still it has done enough to prove its real.

  • 66,100 of those hits are from a single site. Counting google hits is not research. —Cryptic (talk) 04:33, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep The fraternity seems real enough according to the Student Greek-life Site at Emerson. The article is stubbish at best. DeathThoreau 17:35, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. The fraternity has no real content on the web site for its national organization [3], and one web site about fraternities implies that it has only two chapters. [4] --Metropolitan90 02:35, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep and clean up. PJM 02:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep The fraternity is over 100 years old, and it's the first of its kind. In addition to the fact that it is an actual organization functioning at an accredited college, if you search the bios section on imdb.com [5] you'll see there honorary members include-- Frank Oz, John Williams, Jack Lemmon, Edward R. Murrow, Walter Kronkite, the list goes on... that's pretty impressive. RbnWllmsnDMBFall05
