Advice needed

Hey bros,

I was an international student who pledged for a semester before going back to my country. It was a blast! However, I just have a few questions/concerns and I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me out

So when filling out the OmegaFi details, they asked for an SSN. However, I didn't even know what an SSN was and asked my Exec or the finance guy at the frat. He said it's used to track people who don't pay dues and told me to put in this random number that he gave me, to which I did ( I know I'm a retard). I didn't even know what I did here and how serious it was.

I paid all my dues and was never sent to collections, so I was just wondering if this could come back to fuck me?

My account at the frat has been deleted/archived so I'm assuming I'm good and as far as I know the information is only shared with credit bureaus if I'm sent to collections. Is that right?

Does omega fi/fraternity dues come up under your credit report?

SSN is Social Security Number which all Americans have to track taxes, social security payments, etc.. Unless the US government audits the chapter or any employer you may have had, I doubt you have anything to worry about. Just don't do that again.

Yeah I should have known that for sure. That's the only screwup I have had anyways, never used an ssn to work or anything like that so I should be good. I'm guessing if it was a problem, I would have heard something from my chapter
by now.

Thanks for your reply!

UPDATE:

Everything is all good, thankfully an SSN wasn't strictly mandatory and so the people handling my account when I was signing up were able to input 000-000-000 for the ssn section my account with permission.
