AEPi in Wikipedia
For those of you who have been living under a rock unfamiliar with Wikipedia, it’s an online Encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone, and all the content has been added by individual users. [You can read more on the About page at Wikipedia.]
Alpha Epsilon Pi has its own page at Wikipedia. Right now, the entry has information on AEPi’s Mission Statement, History, Notable Alumni, List of Chapters, and External links. Most of these entries are very brief and could use some editing to bulk them up and provide more information.
For an example of a substantial fraternity entry in Wikipedia, check out the Delta Kappa Epsilon entry. For DKE there is a lengthy history of the fraternity, instead of the three paragraphs that the AEPi entry has. Our entry could also use some photos of other important fraternity items, such as the pledge pin. The notable alumni list could also be expanded, and organized by profession, similar to this.
Also, under the list of Chapters only a few link to the website of that chapter, and that is something that anyone can easily change so that the list on Wikipedia will always have the current links for all of the chapter websites. I’ll link to the site again in the future if it is improved upon.

I just had to put our fraternity in the official list of fraternities there. Weirdly enough, we were mentioned in the explanation section of nicknames, but not in the actual list.
