In that case, do schools get students from other schools to be orientation leaders?

Serious question, some schools may, I don't know. LOL

The assumption is that an orientation leader will not say "oh, I live off campus and don't know much about this school beyond my major courses...I just know what I was trained to tell you all."

AFAIK, orientation leaders are current students, typically undergraduates. I'm sure there are exceptions. Just like, Rho Chis are traditionally current NPC members across a variety of orgs

And if an orientation leader or Rho Chi ever says something like "I just know what I was trained to tell you," maybe that's not the role for them. To me, shows a complete disconnect to me. and while said person may feel that disconnect, if my OL or RC gave me that response, i'd lose a lot of confidence in them. In that case, i'd much rather get an "I don't know" than "i'm telling you what they told me."
