Pledge possibly lying about military service..

[adpiucf]

Would you ask any other pledge to furnish proof of prior employment?

Is he a good pledge? Does he get along with everyone? If he'd make a good brother, don't worry about it. Call him up to a standards meeting, tell him what was said and give him a chance to explain.

I'm not defending someone who lies, or discounting that someone who lies about something may lie about something else-- something that could affect the reputation or integrity of the chapter. But if your whole reason for pledging this guy was so you could say "We have a war vet in our chapter," that's weak. I'm as much for recruiting the best members, and you want certain bragging rights, but I would hope there was more to this guy than just his work record that compelled you to bid him.

I've no doubt your other members have embellished their accomplishments or lied about things before-- would this make-or-break their membership?
