Talk:Delta Sigma (sorority)

To do
There may have been a crest drawn for this sorority, available in one of the yearbooks.

The member count is conjectural, but as Alpha chapter reported 77 women for the 1905 publication of Baird's, and the other two chapters were of similar age, it seems reasonable that the organization had between 200-300 women by the time of the 1908 merger.

 * The Scroll of Phi Delta Theta, v. 31. XXXL (5). June 1907. lists its membership at 200. Assuming that their recruitment was low the last semember before the merger, the guess of 200+ seems reasonably accurate. Rublamb (talk) 23:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Squatter alert
An emerging group at Arizona State, identifying itself as a "fully online sorority chapter" attempted to hijack Delta Sigma's article, thereby claiming some association. Participants in that new group should note that all names, history and insignia of Delta Sigma would have reverted to control of Alpha Omicron Pi in 1908 with the merger, and that sorority would be unlikely to support re-use except perhaps for historical purposes at Tufts, Brown or Maine.

Readers: Greek Letters themselves aren't readily copyrightable, and another group certainly may form with those letters in their name. But its history would start anew. Eventually a Wikipedia article may be warranted, but it would have to use a name that is distinct from Delta Sigma (sorority). Perhaps one that uses the word "Arizona" within the article name.

For purposes of Wikipedia, here are rules followed by Fraternity and Sorority Project participants as to notability, clarifying when pages are supportable. Generally, a brand-new local would not be eligible for its own article until it met those criteria. Jax MN (talk) 06:06, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
