Greek community

This section is unusual for an article about big universities. The contents of the Greek part are mostly unreferenced and since it is just a rote list of various fraternities and sororities without any further detail, I question whether there is any useful information being shared here. I propose deletion. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 18:48, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one chimed in on this one, I will go ahead and streamline. --Melchior2006 (talk) 06:33, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Boosterism Discussion

This page was tagged with Template:Academic booster by User:GuardianH this previous July. Thank you for tagging. I noticed there was no discussion thread on the Talk Page, and wanted to start one. The Wikipedia:Avoid academic boosterism page gives good guidance. [[Category:GA-Class Higher education articles]] has good examples as a starting point for reference.
