Absolutely, but the reality is we're dealing with 18 year old minds who don't fully understand the backside of the process. You can tell them until they're blue in the face that they shouldn't listen to that, but if "ZOMG XYZ tip-top group" are all telling her they can't wait to see her tomorrow and she better SIP them...she's going to be inclined to believe it. And THEN if she does later turn them in, she's feeling like she labeled herself "big nanny tattletale" which she's been told since preschool she should never be that girl. And yes, this happened last year (for sure) and several times while I was in college.

It's a double-edged sword for sure and not black and white by any means.
