Please keep the following in mind when using this wiki.

Ownership

Although no one person owns PhiSigmaPiWiki, it is generously hosted by the National Council using resources of the National Fraternity. Continuous posting of inappropriate material is likely to result in the wiki being severely restricted, or even terminated. In short, use common sense when adding, editing, or removing content. If you are not sure whether content is acceptable, please ask before posting by using the appropriate Talk Page.

Generally Acceptable Content

In most cases, content related to the history of Phi Sigma Pi, Chapters, Members, or related projects and programs is acceptable and appropriate content for PhiSigmaPiWiki.

Unacceptable Content

Content that is likely to be considered unnacceptable and inappropriate includes, but is not limited to:

  • content relating to illegal activities of any kind, or activities prohibited by Phi Sigma Pi or University Rules or Regulations
  • references to (legal or illegal) use of alcohol or drugs
  • sexually explicit material or references
  • content describing or promoting hazing, discrimination, or harrassment of any kind

Content that is deemed inappropriate will be removed immediately, and repeated offenders may be barred from further editing of PhiSigmaPiWiki.

Editing

The nature of a wiki allows for content to be editable by anyone. When posting content, please do so with the realization that it may be modified by someone else. If you are modifying content posted by another user, please be courteous in so doing. Major changes should be discussed on a Talk Page before edits are made. When there is a disagreement, please discuss it rather than repeatedly editing the page to undo other users' changes.

Images

When using images, please keep the following in mind:

  • Images used in PhiSigmaPiWiki must be uploaded to the server; no images can be linked from another site.
  • Please keep images to a minimum, PhiSigmaPiWiki is not a place to store images for sharing with friends. Other online resources exist for this purpose.
  • Images that promote sexually explicit content or alcohol are not allowed on PhiSigmaPiWiki.
  • Images that represent Phi Sigma Pi in any unnacceptable manner (as deemed by the National Council) are not allowed.
  • Please do not upload any embarassing images of other Members of Phi Sigma Pi

Malevolent destruction of content and/or posting of blatantly inappropriate content may be considered conduct unbecoming a brother.
