Sometimes it also comes down to proof. There can be rumors (or stories or suspicions or gut feelings) that are known /felt by students, faculty, or administrators around campus. It can be more challenging to get to the details and have proof. I have seen this on quite a few campus, with chapters of varying strengths and sizes. Sometimes one seemingly isolated incident can just be the tip of the iceberg.
This is why I pay particular attention to what my students say (and don't say) and how they share information when in my office. You never know what you might learn!
