After someone took up the cause of updating each chapter's entry state by state, I worked on some, starting with Mass (Alpha Zeta). However, I can't seem to find websites for some chapters. Could some other "Wikipedians" work on some of the entries? The talk page has a format that the other guy has been using and has worked fairly well. We just need to get each entry linked to the school's wiki page and a seperate link to each zeta's website.

What would also be good is if someone could put in the zetas that don't have entries because they're new, inactive, or disbanded. I'm sure that someone on here knows all about chapters statuses. (cough cough - cigar shop owners)

The new PED came out this year. Unfortunately our new guys snatched up all of the new copies, I think. On that note I am still trying to hunt down whoever stole mine.... It had my Bid card in it. Not happy about that one.

I'm sorta working on this, two fold. You will see when I'm done. Does anyone have a spreadsheet with all of the chapters addresses on it. I have a list of everyones zeta, university, website. But finding addresses is quite difficult, especially when doing 200 something of them.

Email please: dever860@gmail.com

Thanks,
John

I like where you are going with this. You might could use the Paed online
and Control F and search for your holes.

Or, you could try to use lambdachi.org - AFAIK chapter addresses (and
most current HA reported to HQ) are listed on there. It would be tedious
though, but I would be willing to help you (ie I'll do the secondhalf of the
states listed alphabetically if the website has the info you want - in the
format you want). Then we can just combine our work.

PM me if this is the direction you want to go (finals are over in a week!)

In ZAX,

Brandon

What would make this task much easier would be if Zeta's had usable websites. Not to trash the hard work of some brothers who aren't technically inclined, or have high gag reflexes, some a lot of websites are either really amazingly done, or make me want to cry. In most cases I have to look them up on google maps because they dont list their house address on the website. Once I get everything into a spreadsheet, I can export everything into a database. Another one of my many projects... I am sure that someone has a spreadsheet somewhere that nationals has given them. Would make my little project easier.

First Brother Dever is correct and He has been a great help for me!

He has some great ideas and is capable to say the least!

As far as web sites go some are basic and like everything else, it the Zeta does not update IHQ, then they cannot put it on the web site!

This also includes emails, addresses and phone #'s.

Brandon, YOu are also correct with what you suggest, but it still depends on what input is given!

Provides a basic interface to my database. Against my normal paranoia about leaving a database open to the world, ill make an exception. I got this list from some greek website, and converted it into a database. A good chunk of the websites are old and not working, but its better than nothing. Surprisingly more chapters have websites than I was aware of. Feel free to make additions and changes, I have copies of everything so I won't be all that upset if someone vandalizes it, I would prefer not however. I threw this up pretty quick. I have been having problems with a new webhost, so bear with me if it goes down.

Please help me out and and ass much info as possible. If you feel an additional column is warranted, I have no problem adding it.

There is a site,

greekpages.com

But here again, some are old sites or no longer available. Some times, the school has changed processor and then if you go to the school home site, you may be able to link with them that way.

If a Zeta does not update them on this (greekpages) site or LXA site then there is really no way to find them.

Google can find anything, Thomas.

All you have to do is use good keywords, for instance:
To find PLZ website you would just need to type in
lambda chi pharmacy...If you got more specific, it would
be even easier to find.

I lifted my list straight from greekpages. I started making changes, then I lost my spread excel sheet. I was mad....

Easiest way is to google the zeta then lambda chi alpha:
Gamma tau lambda chi alpha
