My office (Student Life) then reviews GPAs, past pledging/initiation data we have on file, and verifies if it's true or not. The PNMs are made aware of this entire process from the start, so we rarely get misinformation from them.

Regarding puddintane's concern about the grade report, I'm willing to share how we work our grade report process if you want to PM me. Again, it's approved by our campus Registrar and FERPA compliance officer as well.
So in your case, if the campus Panhellenic wanted too, you might be able to add to the recruitment release a release for transfer students and information about membership as well?

It's interesting how much it varies from campus to campus. At the school that won't release any information from the student file, I guess the only way a future employer can verify information about an applicant is by getting a transcript sent. (I doubt many employers verify extracurriculars anyway, but I never really thought about how people could completely make up everything on the first resume other than the GPA, but I guess at that campus, they could. )
