How to evaluate community detection without ground truth

I have performed community detection on a graph and would like to evaluate how good my algorithm was in multiple ways.



Right now I have the start graph, and lists of nodes representing extracted communities. I have no ground truth pertaining to what these communities actually are.



I know modularity is one good metric for assessing my algorithm. I was wondering if there are any others (bonus if know off hand where code for these methods exists)



Thanks!
