Greek life

This part of the article is largely unsourced; the references are only to other lists and don't convey information of encyclopedic value. There are Wikipedia pages which list Greek life at any given university or college; this is not the place for them. I propose deletion. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 06:01, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

I am a British/Australian retired university professor and know little about Greek life in USA universities, but I did, long ago, spent about 5 months at the University of Georgia as a visiting professor so this article is on my watch list. It seems to me that information about Greek life is by its nature very difficult to source well. I therefore agree that anything to do with Greek life should be deleted as having no place on Wikipedia. --Bduke (talk) 07:57, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. I agree. Actually, none of the better Wikipedia pages about universities include lists of Greek life, but you find such lists on a lot of underdeveloped pages. The problem lies in the lack of sourcing but also the lack of truly comprehensive Greek listings and, finally, simply mentioning the name of a fraternity doesn't really contain much solid information. When was the house founded, how man students belong, what role did/does the group play in university life? Those would be the more relevant topics. I will wait a few days and then delete. --Melchior2006 (talk) 13:33, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Since no comments to the contrary have come in, I will go ahead and streamline now. --Melchior2006 (talk) 03:35, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
