Due to this, the alumni association I am with verifies the membership of anyone who wants to join.
Later I met another person who claimed to be an alumni. He atleast was able to give me the handclasp and knew his chapter letters, but following our process, I checked him out. Again, no record. But in this cause what has happened is some chapters that are shutdown keep operating and many people think they members but they aren't because there is no record of them at our National Office. This is sad because these people are not necessarily falsely claiming to be Brothers, but are denied the right to do so because of the chapter they joined was either shutdown or failed to send in their paperwork.
Bottom line, you should be able to verify the membership of such people. They hopefully have membership cards, and you should be able to contact your National Office to verify their membership.

SO true!!
I'd be surprised at any chapter that didn't review membership documentation prior to letting someone join a chapter.
I carry my membership card with me at all time. It's so pretty.
