Leges is plural
Leges is the nominative (and vocative) plural of lex (see: http://www.orbilat.com/Languages/Latin/Grammar/Latin-Declension_3rd.html). Being a motto, the use was probably intended to be vocative. Furthmore the plural use makes sense, at the time DX was founded a law degree was an LL.B.: legum baccalaris (i.e. Bachalor of Laws) The morgawr 15:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I guess you are correect. I should have known better since I am somewhat familiar with Latin grammar.  However, the term leges has been interpreted as just "law" by the fraternity in recent years.--Shada501 21:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * As a note of interest, it has been pointed out to me that leges could be used to mean THE Law i.e. the totality of individual laws. My latin isn't good enough to know if that's valid usage, so I suggest we keep it as laws until we can be sure The morgawr 17:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The interpretation by the fraternity is for THE Law. It stays as "law", properly referred. Rarelibra 20:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Better Coat of Arms?
Does anyone have a picture of the coat of Arms, one that doesn't have so much gray in it? The version in http://www.deltachi.org/quarterly/summer_fall_03/summer_fall_03.pdf.pdf has a buff border.

This version with the grey border is incorrect the correct version is like the one you linked to and is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By-ZRI9g7_95cVJnSjA2VWJyclE/view Robophoto (talk) 21:41, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

The Coke Quote
On the Sir Edward Coke page, the quote is written as "The King himself should be under no man, but under God and the Law." Does anyone know which is more correct?

>The quote you listed is what Coke seems to have actually said. Legal historians, however, tend to use the phrasing from the article without quotations to stress the content of the idea (it was fairly radical at the time) The morgawr 15:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Chapters Order
May I ask what kind of order the list of chapters is currently in? If they are in any kind of order I would recommend noting that on the page, otherwise I would recommend maybe listing them in order of when they were founded.

I added a wikisortable table to the chapters section and put all the chapters in based on founding date. I just need help filling in all the locations of the schools and their respective website addresses. EQ Kimball (talk) 05:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Famous Alumni
Out of curiosity -- how did Robert Todd Lincoln and William Jennings Bryan become Delta Chi? They were both long out of college (and famous) by 1890 when DX was founded. Benjamin Harrison had already been President by that time, and was also in Phi Delta Theta, but the article on him explains why he counts. What's the story on these other two? Honoraries or something like that? --SuperNova |T|C| 08:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Anyone can be initiated as an honorary member. We did this to a business owner at the University of Wisconsin (Madison) when the Wisconsin Chapter was active (I am a founding father of the now defunct chapter). Rarelibra 20:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I would say that Robert Todd Lincoln and William Jennings Bryan could have been initiated as alumni. Also, until 1922, Delta Chi was a professional fraternity, and members could therefore be in different undergraduate groups. --Gookey |T|C| 11 March 2006

Robert Rohletter, 1970s songwriter famous for writing Diana Ross and the Supremes' hit single, "Respect"... The Supremes didn't have a hit single with this title. The single was by Aretha Franklin and it was written by Otis Redding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.198.90.228 (talk) 17:21, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Founding section
Apparently someone wants it removed? I put it back in. The founding of group is quite important to an encyclopdia article. But the section is in dire need of cleanup. --Xiahou 00:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem is that it has been copied directly from a Delta Chi website contravening copyright.  I've removed teh section. -- Whpq 22:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Tags
I added advert tags to the article, due to the fact that the entire opening section seems to have been lifted from a manual, or a website of historical information about the fraternity. It could be kept, but needs to be less POV, and more simple facts. Jmlk 1  7  19:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe most of that stuff, most of which has since been removed, was taken, verbatim, from "The Cornerstone," which is the Associate Member (pledge) manual. 72.24.186.120 —Preceding comment was added at 17:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Alumni list and Chapter list
has anyone considered creating a chapter list and an alumni list page separate from the main article like many other organizations? This article basically looks like one long list. The alumni list could also do with some serious editing. people need to be linked out to their wiki pages and those that don't have them have some questions of notability. Figured i would mention this and wait for some comment before i go tearing through things Trey (talk) 15:02, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * after waiting for a month i went ahead and created a new page for the chapters and cut a bunch of non notable alumni. page i think looks a little cleaner now. I hope this will not upset anyone if it does please feel free to discuss it here.Trey (talk) 02:17, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
