Below is a list of potential articles identified by members of WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities and others that need to be created. Non-WikiProject members are welcome to add items to this list for WikiProject members to work on.
Since this is a working list of notable items that are not in Wikipedia, please only include organizations and topics that appear to meet notability and have secondary sources such as Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities or the Almanac of Fraternities and Sororities published by the University of Illinois. If a potential topic lacks sources after researching, please move it to the Unlikely Articles and AfDs sections below. After creating an article, please add it to the WikiProject Fraternities and Sororities/Watchlist so the WP can monitor the article.
