Line 1:

'''Kenilworth''' is a village located in [[Cook County, Illinois]], approximately 17 miles north of downtown [[Chicago]]. It is the newest of the eight suburban "[[North Shore]]" communities bordering [[Lake Michigan]], and is the only one developed as a planned community. Department store mogul Joseph [[Sears]] purchased 223.6 acres in one of the last undeveloped areas near Chicago's lakeshore for $150,300 in [[1889]]. Seven years later the population had reached 300 residents, fulfilling the legal requirement for incorporation. As of the [[2000]] census, the village had a total population of 2,494.

Phi Sigma Pi is not an honor society, but is an honor *fraternity*, a distinction that we take very seriously. Since this is confusing to some, I left the student society categorization as an addendum.

Kenilworth has a reputation as the wealthiest and most exclusive community in [[Chicagoland]]. In April of 2005, American Demographics magazine named Kenilworth's [[zip code]] (60043) the 11th most affluent in the U.S.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Geography ==

Kenilworth is located at 42°5'17" North, 87°42'57" West (42.088128, -87.716009){{GR|1}}.

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the village has a total area of 1.6 [[square kilometer|km²]] (0.6 [[square mile|mi²]]). 1.6 km² (0.6 mi²) of it is land and none of it is covered by water.

I don't feel like the complete listing of chapters adds much to the page. It will quickly become outdated as new chapters are added, and just makes the reader scroll forever to reach other content, like the link to the webpage.

== Demographics ==

I think the information is better presented as a link to the external listing of chapters (which is always up to date).

As of the [[census]]{{GR|2}} of [[2000]], there are 2,494 people, 792 households, and 697 families residing in the village. The [[population density]] is 1,604.9/km² (4,190.8/mi²). There are 815 housing units at an average density of 524.5/km² (1,369.5/mi²). The racial makeup of the village is 97.27% [[White (U.S. Census)|White]], 0.16% [[African American (U.S. Census)|African American]], 0.04% [[Native American (U.S. Census)|Native American]], 2.25% [[Asian (U.S. Census)|Asian]], 0.00% [[Pacific Islander (U.S. Census)|Pacific Islander]], 0.00% from [[Race (U.S. Census)|other races]], and 0.28% from two or more races. 1.36% of the population are [[Hispanic (U.S. Census)|Hispanic]] or [[Latino (U.S. Census)|Latino]] of any race.

There are 792 households out of which 49.9% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 81.7% are [[Marriage|married couples]] living together, 5.6% have a female householder with no husband present, and 11.9% are non-families. 10.2% of all households are made up of individuals and 6.4% have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size is 3.15 and the average family size is 3.39.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the village the population is spread out with 34.8% under the age of 18, 4.0% from 18 to 24, 19.7% from 25 to 44, 29.7% from 45 to 64, and 11.8% who are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 40 years. For every 100 females there are 90.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 87.3 males.

The median income for a household in the village is excess of $200,000, as is the median income for a family. Males have a median income of over $100,000 versus $69,375 for females. The per capita income for the village is $100,718. 1.1% of the population and none of the families are below the poverty line. Out of the total people living in poverty, none are under the age of 18 and 1.7% are 65 or older.

I think that with the chapters listed on this website, it will give people a good idea where we are located without having to wander outside wikipedia. If you are only looking for the external website to our fraternity (a.k.a. www.phisigmapi.org) I do not think one needs to be told where to go. It is not that much trouble to update the 2 chapters that enter per year. I feel up to the challange, but if you want to get rid of it, by all means... I do believe that is the law of the lands here.

== External links ==

Upon further review, the wikipedia philosopy is something like "the more info the better" and doesn't want to have to rely upon external pages. Thanks for putting in the effort to add the info.
