One of the easiest ways to tell if a story is fake is if the school is unidentifiable. The more chapters there are at a school, the fewer possibilities there are. One of the GC sleuths should recognize it given other clues (location, Greek culture, campus-specific language, time of year). I think any story with more than 8-10 chapters should be able to be recognized by the sleuths.

Another big red flag is if there is something that seems off about the recruitment process itself. For example, eaglesbaby or one of her alter egos wrote the story about Drexel, and how they were at the "loser" chapter and how her whole rush group just crowded in the back and ate their food instead of talking to the actives. I'd have a hard time believing a chapter would have an unstructured "just mingle and meet members as you please" when every other chapter during formal recruitment is doing organized "pick up" and rotation of PNMs.
