Alpha Phi Omega
I see your addition of Butler. I'm not sure how many schools should be listed there as from my research at *least* 30 or 40 chapters fall into that category. (I'm an Alpha Phi Omega alumnus from Carnegie-Mellon, which also did that)Naraht (talk) 20:22, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Trianon (sorority)
Wow the article on the Trianon Sorority needs work. Even though the group is currently not active, I'd like to see it upgraded. The way in which references are done will need to be updated to the way they are on the Alpha Phi Omega article (inline references, etc.). Unfortunately personal experiences can't be put into Wikipedia articles, but there are a good number of references out there for Trianon.Naraht (talk) 20:25, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Also I know the Sorority was still active until at least 1977 because I was president of the Butler chapter for two years. I wish my memory was better than what it is, but that's 40 years ago. :-)
 * Yup, exactly why Wikipedia doesn't take personal experiences. :) Easiest would be something out of either a school newspaper or school yearbook. For example, https://archive.org/stream/drift75unde#page/178/mode/2up/search/trianon would be useful for some of what really needs references. None of the Drift editions in the 1970s had an organizational page for Trianon, but several had Trianon mentioned for individual student's activities (Possibly including you, I found a Holly with both Trianon and Alpha Phi Omega in their activities in the 1976 edition https://archive.org/details/drift84unde )Naraht (talk) 04:19, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Also the Trianon Pledge manual is a very good reference, and it should be used, do you have a copy?.Naraht (talk) 04:28, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
 * And it looks like the person who originally wrote the Wikipedia article also wrote http://womensfraternities.blogspot.com/search/label/Trianon%20National%20Sorority%20of%20College%20Women (the four parts will be in reverse order)Naraht (talk) 04:33, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

 * (I'm rearranging a little to try to keep things straight.) (Note, Wikipedia uses colons for indentation and four ~ in a row like ~ to sign.)
 * I'm pretty lost in all of this. Mostly I had just wanted to add photos of the pledge pin, the lavalier with the crest on it and the active pin I just don't know how to add them.
 * Do you mean for Alpha Phi Omega or Trianon? Image uploads aren't that bad but getting past the copyright issues can be ugly. Any idea who owns the Trianon copyrights at this point?Naraht (talk) 04:19, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
