"Notable alumni"?

I noticed a ton of "notable alumni" were removed, which is fine according to guidelines, but it would be nice to add that section back in somehow--possibly under a different subheader. Having that information easily available was useful to those of us who are interested in the organization's history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grover173 ( talkcontribs) 11:45, 5 June 2019 (UTC) reply

I am copying the orginal list here, for future work. The editor who removed these individuals was incorrect--a person does not need to have a Wikipedia article to prove notability (although that is the easiest way). Notability can be proved with a linked source. Either way, proof of relationship to the fraternity needs to be included.
