I am temporarily removing the (independant) from beside Psi Epsilon. As far as I know they are still recognized by the grand chapter and that is all they need to be in order to be considered a chapter. The part they are independant from is their univeristy. In 2001 there was an incident about the content of the chapter's newsletters. If someone can corroborate that they have had their charter pulled since then, we will removed Psi Epsilon from the list. The list is black and white, a chapter is a chapter or is not. --metta, The Sunborn ☥ 21:44, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The fraternity has only one official color, White. This is the fourth time I have removed black and gold from the list. Black and gold are unofficial secondary colors. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot. --metta, The Sunborn 18:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chapter list
The main objection to the chapter lists comes from the large amount of external links within them,. Please see relevant discussion at WP:AN#Fraternities and sororities. We are coming to a consensus now that chapter lists are fine but massive external links (i.e. one for each chapter) violates Wikipedia policies as it creates a directory. Does the national organization have a webpage for chapter links that could be linked to instead? Please see something like FBLA-PBL where all the state and local chapter links were replaced by 2 links to the national organization's web directories. Metros232 04:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't disagree with you at all that the external links to each chapter are differentiable from the list of chapters itself, which seem descriptive. However, I don't know of any Zeta Psi-endorsed directory of the links reproduced here; the best approximations (and they are only that, approximations) are found on individual chapters' sites. While a link to a single external page representing the information embodied in the individual links would be preferable, it does not seem worth destroying this information until and unless a link to such a comprehensive external page can be obtained. I realize this is nonideal, but it is to be hoped that Zeta Psi international will soon remedy this omission. Citizen Sunshine 01:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
By the end of this summer, there will be a new official list of chapters on the official Zeta Psi website, which I am charged to update. It has been much too long since an active webmaster was at the helm, so many changes will be made effective this September. Sipsclark 01:07, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Can the new chartering of the Iota Omicron chapter at Oxford University in England be added when it occurs as Zeta Psi becomes the first inter-continental fraternity? This is a very momentous occasion in Zete history. Courtjestr19 03:32, April 19 2008
I added the Iota Omicron chapter at OU to the article within the hour of its chartering. It also appears on the separate chapters list as well. Translostation1 11:20, May 6 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 15:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Zeta Chi
Can I get a confirmation that Zeta Chi was actually chartered. As far as I know, it hadn't been and was only a colony. Has someone been re-writing history? --metta, The Sunborn 16:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- As a follow up, zetapsi.org, the official website does not list any Zeta Chi chapter. But this doesn't mean as much as it should. They were petitioning for a charter at the same time as my chapter. We were both turned down because of lack of members, however, we eventually were granted one, and they folded. I conclude that this former colony never was granted charter and hence no official name. I will try to remember to contact a Zete official eventually for confirmation.--metta, The Sunborn 18:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I'll look into this, though I am pretty sure Zeta Chi was never chartered.Sipsclark 10:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Zeta Chi was never chartered. You refer to a provisional greek designation to a colony that never acceded nor was admitted to the fraternity. Citizen Sunshine (talk) 07:32, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New Userbox Available!
Did a little userbox for those users who want to let people know they're Zetes. Check it out and put it up on your page...yeah! Sipsclark 12:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)\
[edit] Neutrality
There is a lack of neutrality in the writing of this article. The first line of the History section clearly illustrates this.Storkpkp (talk) 19:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
