Just as a note to editors, please don't add a whole list of chapters in the article. The SHORT list of examples of chapter titles is only there to give people a BRIEF idea of the concept. thanks-- EhavEliyahu 11:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Is a list of that many names really justified, given WP:NOT#DIRECTORY? This article really gives the impression of an advertisement rather than an encyclopedia article. -- Jasonisme 22:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Seven University of South Carolina students have been arrested for a hazing incident that took place off-campus. Detectives say that during the initiation meeting, some of the fraternity members charged in the incident strangled the student with a T-shirt and hit him multiple times on his body with a wooden paddle, belt and steel bat. Deputies say some of the fraternity members charged in the incident also hit the victim more than 100 times on his body with closed fists and open hands. Deputies say the victim told them that when he arrived at the apartment, fraternity members blindfolded him and assaulted him. During the assaults, the victim reported that he nearly lost consciousness.
If possible, please clean up this section: Fraternities_and_sororities#Joining_a_black_fraternity_or_sorority. It reads poorly and its citations should be footnotes instead. I am also unsure of the universality of said processes; if they are fairly common, keep them; if not, delete them. Thank you for your help. — Scouter Sig 16:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the article would be greatly improved if the long biography sections on the 3 foundes and the 3 other members were removed. I think it would be best to create separate articles for these men and just provide limited text within the article with their PBS contributionand a wikilink to the person's new wikipedia article.-- Ccson 16:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I have redirected the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc page to this page. Occasio 13:59, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Where would be the best place to put the table of Presidents? Occasio 21:28, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I have requested speedy attention for all three founder's pages, since they are in violation of copyright. They are exact copies of
http://www.pbs1914.org/history/morse.asp,
http://www.pbs1914.org/History/brown.asp, and
http://www.pbs1914.org/History/morse.asp. Also, I am going to submit some of the pictures which are on this page to
WP:MFD, because they are part of the website, which is copyrighted.

removed per Wikipedia:Copyrights. Page is verbatim copy of Phi Beta Sigma page here, originally with spelling errors. NPOV rewrite of info with sources to the book copied would be sufficient fix.- Robotam 20:29, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
EhavEliyahu, i'm by no means the expert, but, depending on how you published it, it may or may not run afoul of Wikipedia:No original research. generally, you are also going to run into trouble if you insert it into the article in a non-neutral point of view. from experience, i would say your best bet would be to cite to the original sources you used, and stay clear of anything that sounds like opinion, argument, or what wiki calls "weasel words" (ie-"others say," "some say"). "stepping to the blues" is a good source to cite, as well. Hope that helps.- Robotam 14:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
The word "honorable" should be taken out from the table, since not everyone on wikipedia is a member of Phi Beta Sigma. Also, numbers should be taken out of the table as well. Real96 00:02, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Right now, I still think this article is a start class, because 1.) Most of the text looks like it is copied from another source. 2.) The lines of various chapters don't need to be included because it's redundant and can be included in Fraternities and sororities 3.) Famous members' biographies should not be included on the page. Instead membership as a whole (i.e. numbers and profession) should be included. Remember, this article is not a handout for the organization! If you want ideas to see what type of content the article should encompass, look at Alpha Phi Alpha for FA and Alpha Kappa Alpha for B/possibly GA. Miranda 13:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
In the section on the Civil Rights movement, the mention of the Panthers is followed directly by a reference to the Black Power Movement, implying that these are one and the same. I think that's a serious error in logic and history. The Panthers were part of the movement; they were not the entire movement. An outbound link to the movement itself would be helpful for comprehension. 66.92.161.127 ( talk) 16:09, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
