It is up to Gamma Sigma Sigma to make updates to it's pages; I know there's history with Alpha Phi Omega but although you may have good intentions, it can be portrayed as getting into something that isn't yours to get into

The way that Wikipedia works is that no one "owns" any page. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...ip_of_articles . All editors with referencable information are equal. For example, I have just as much right to edit the page on France as the President of France does.
Having said that, I would much appreciate additional editing to the Gamma Sigma Sigma article by Gamma Sigma Sigma sisters. I'm sure there is a great deal more information that would be appropriate to add to the article *and* certain images on the Gamma Sigma Sigma National Website that would be wonderful on the Wikipedia page (such as the picture of the founders on
http://www.gammasigmasigma.org/mission.html) can only be added with the legal permission of the Sorority or its representatives.
Also, I've been burned before in terms of assuming that a username on Wikipedia actually represented the truth about what the person behind the username was and I've found that there really is very little sure way of verifying that someone with a username of gssmarketing on wikipedia actually is someone on the National Board of Gamma Sigma Sigma.
