I cannot fathom how a local chapter of a fraternal organization could be notable. BRANCH applies. I stand corrected, but it is highly doubtful that a social organization that is at one single university will ever meet ORG. At best, if this organization becomes a national organization, it may someday be notable. As of now, TOOSOON. John from Idegon (talk) 18:47, 16 January 2017 (UTC)


 * It is not a local chapter of another fraternal organization, it is its own independently founded organization on a campus that did not have any Greek Life previously Erin Pantone (talk) 19:09, 16 January 2017 (UTC) — Erin Pantone (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * After reviewing, it looks like BRANCH does not apply because it doesn't seem to be a sub-organization of a larger organization. Awhirlwind (talk) 19:24, 16 January 2017 (UTC) — Awhirlwind (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete. The rule of thumb is that single-chapter Greek-letter organizations are not notable. I don't see anything to make this an exception. I also don't see substantial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 19:41, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. The question of whether this is a branch of a national organization or a standalone local entity is not as definitive in this instance as the total lack of any reliable source coverage independent of the organization's own self-published web presence. The "referencing" here is entirely to the sorority's own webpage about itself and its own social networking profile on Facebook, except for one article in the university's student newspaper — a source which is not widely distributed enough, or archived anywhere that Wikipedia could retrieve the content again if the weblink dies, to count for anything toward WP:GNG. But that's not how an organization gets a Wikipedia article, regardless of where it falls on the "national branch vs. standalone" scale: the key to getting a Wikipedia article is reliable source coverage in general market media on the order of daily newspapers and/or national news organizations (i.e. CBC/Global/CTV/Canadian Press), of which none has been shown here and no evidence of adequate coverage is turning up on Google either.
