[edit] Active/Dormant
I believe a section of dormant chapters, in addition to the chapters listed would be good, so they will not be forgotten.
[edit] Nicknames
K-Deltas? I've never heard that one before.
I am a member of the Pi Alpha Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho at the University of Toledo. I was just wondering why we got no mention...i believe we are up for some national awards this year...
[edit] Who wrote this article?
While it's cool that someone took the time to cut and paste propoganda from national, this article in no way resembles anything close to a neutral point of view. I don't think anybody really cares that much, but this whole article should be rewritten, w/o personal pronouns or perjorative statements (the fact that alpha went coed is just that: a fact. In an encyclopedia, there's no place for calling it groundbreaking or trailblazing.
PLEASE REWRITE THIS ARTICLE, AND DON'T JUST QUOTE THE PATHFINDER!!!

[edit] I'm the one responsible
I rewrote this article, I'm a brother of Eta at the University of Illinois, I've been meaning to rewrite it. I thought we got a raw deal when our article was such a short stub compared to other fraternities, so I temporarily copied the Pathfinder history into it from another chapter's website (I think it was Nu/Indiana). I'm going to rewrite the history to make it more neutral, as well as add in inactive chapters when I get some time. Also, for anybody who has more experience with this than me, how would I cite the Pathfinder as a source?
- Glad to see you've got plans for revising. I stumbled on the page to correct a typo of "Virginia," and made the mistake of attempting to edit this monstrosity. I've edited entries that look like they were written by pre-teen girls, puerile pieces by juvenile delinquents, and articles by non-native English speakers, but this one beats them all for pitiful prose. I got from the beginning through "The Founders," and from "After 1946" to the end. The simplest way to note a reference is to create a new section called "References," and put it there. Do so ASAP even if you don't get to any other edits! Kyriosity 05:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm from the Nu Chapter and you probably did copy & paste from our website. Alot of that information looks like it was from our website as I was one who helped design and build our site. All the history information we posted was compiled from National as well as The Pathfinder and another Alum, who as an Active, had written up quite a bit on KDR....I'm sort of thrilled to see we even had this info posted on Wikipedia, so just having that is a great start. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.212.0.104 (talk) 20:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC).
- Just out of curiosity, does anybody know anyplace online, like a chapter website, that has more KDR history that just the chapter from the Pathfinder? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.126.128.200 (talk) 20:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
DO NOT SITE THE PATHFINDER As I understand it that is supposed to be kept secret
There's nothing in the Pathfinder that's supposed to be secret. If there was, it wouldn't be given to pledges.
[edit] Questionable
Usually when on claims a number of chapters, it is the number of active chapters. 75 Chapters is a large number for not even having that many, and not having nearly that many active chapters
