FuzzieAlum:
I understand your point, and I am glad that you are concerned about people being misrepresented. I certainly would never want to be misrepresented either.
At the same time, however, if someone was able to go ahead and get the chapter listings from every national organization and go through and try to verify that information. Which they could do by doing an extinsive web search, contacting a HQ's, or through a Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities (But it hasn't been updated for several years...so the listing wouldn't be 100% accurate). Would that still resolve the issue and make people feel better about the site?
That process is still not going to "fix" what some see as a problem of verifying membership for that individual to that chapter. It would still be possible for someone to misrepresent themself just the same....the only thing that could be verified using your example (if I'm reading your post correctly) about it would be that there indeed was a chapter of that organization on that particular campus.
I thought the concern was people misrepresenting themself as members of our organizations, and not neccesarily finding the proof that a certain chapter was at that campus. In which case, going about and verifying chapter listings only provides a half proof. Correct?
Does that make sense to anyone? If I'm not clear please excuse me.....I overslept this morning, and am a little behind, and still find myself replying here! Go figure!
Thanks for listening.
