Kappa Pi
Hello, my name is User:Naraht and I'm a fellow editor. I've worked on a number of articles on Greek Letter Organizations including Social, Service, Honorary and Professional. The article about Kappa Pi should be expanded, unfortunately, almost the entire prior article had to be removed since it was a copyright violation from text on the Kappa Pi website. The Kappa Pi website can certainly be referenced, but information from other sources is preferred. I'm glad you got a better copy of the Coat of Arms. I'll try to add in the information from a recent copy of Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities, the most recent available online is the one from the 1920 Baird's at https://books.google.com/books?id=1qoVAAAAIAAJ&dq=editions%3AeBPnd8J3oqsC&pg=PA678#v=onepage&q&f=false. Let me know how we can work together.Naraht (talk) 21:17, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I will be working on up dating the Kappa Pi page, as a member I can provide a more detailed history of the organization that the normal person looking for the outside. I will be siting the website as well as some documents like our constitution and bylaw that I will be uploading. I would like to complete this page in few days time and any help you provide will be great. Thanks for the lead.

 * That's cool, I'll look at what you add. You may want to look at the articles of some of the other Honor Societies Category:Honor societies to see how they have been done. While Wikipedia doesn't require that all information put on Wikipedia be immediately publicly available, things are are completly private obviously can't be referenced. Note, for "signing" notes on Wikipedia, you place four ~ in a row (like ~ ) and Wikipedia will add links to your page, talk page and the date/time as it does mine. Your references look good, I'll tweek some other things. (Infobox generally goes first even though it gets shift to the upper right.Naraht (talk) 00:09, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, indentation between what people say in conversations is done by stacking colons at the beginning of the line for indents as I have done. Naraht (talk) 00:10, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Center College.
Not sure if there is anything you can do to help correct the National website, but the history page http://www.kappapiart.com/history/ talks about one of the first chapters being at Center College. I'm *pretty* sure they mean Centre College (re, not er)Naraht (talk) 00:22, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

I will email the International offices to get that changed.

Chapter list
I figure a combination of http://docplayer.net/8098641-Kappa-pi-chapter-installations-1911-2011.html and the listing at the end of the Sketchbook should give almost all of the information needed for a chapter list. A chapter list is something that is so non-controversial, that primary sources are fine. (And we can also probably reference to at least the 1970s from Baird's Manual (I own the 1991, but for some groups, it just copied the 1976 listing). Interesting method of chapter letterimg when it went to three letters. OTOH, describing the group as oldest and largest should probably have a reference not created by Kappa Pi...Naraht (talk) 00:45, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes, the Zeta letters had to change do to poor communication

Infobox Fraternity
You may have noticed that some of the things put into the infobox don't show up when you saved. That is because the only entries to the left of the equal sign that it will show are those listed at Template:Infobox_fraternity. So for example "headquarters=..." doesn't show up, instead, address, city and state should be used. There is a free_label and free fields which could be used for the purpose, but that, due to length, probably belongs down in the main text.Naraht (talk) 16:56, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Sketch Book or Sketchbook?
The national website sometimes has Sketchbook and sometimes Sketch Book, but the covers that you put in the image clearly have a gap between the H and the B.Naraht (talk) 23:59, 7 June 2016 (UTC)


 * It was two words but now it is one
 * When did that officially change?Naraht (talk) 19:36, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

It was more of a gradual change as I'm finding, I have sent an email to the international offices requesting a year when it first occurred. They have a archive of all copies of the Sketchbook.

Severe Current issues with article.

Kappa Pi @ SCSU
Any idea why they aren't listed at http://www.scsu.edu/campuslife/clubsorganizations/honorsocieties.aspx ?Naraht (talk) 00:27, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

The school website is never updated, a better listing of student organizations is on in the student handbook - http://www.scsu.edu/files/StudentHandbook%204-5.pdf - Ejs1989 (talk) 05:07, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Just curious, Kappa Pi at SCSU does probate?Naraht (talk) 13:31, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * We do, it starts with a death march tip the fine arts center. Greetings, info and then unmasking/line names. Ejs1989 (talk) 15:13, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * tip=to? OK, I know you know this personally, but do you have any references like coverage in the school newspaper? (Also, any other active chapters at HBCUs?)Naraht (talk) 14:01, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
