Can someone explain, though, the need to "verify" people? I've never posted in a roll call thread and likely never will. But, I've never felt the need to question someone's membership either. It's not like I'll suddenly start discussing ritual or sensitive member only info online with a woman just because I've "verified" she's a sister.

I think when GC first started no one ever thought that someone would ever be capable of perping an organization. It's true that we don't go around discussing Ritual online, but it goes way beyond that, I think.
In the case of IHE, she was a MODERATOR of the DZ forum. She gained the trust of the DZs on this board and not only that, was privy to sensitive DZ info. There were a lot of DZs at that time who felt betrayed that she took on someone else's identity and posed as one of their own. After she was outed, she had the nerve to come back, this time posing as an AXiD. This went on for quite some time before she eventually slipped up and started stalking GCers at their jobs. No one really had a clue.
And let's not forget BRC. I'll use her initials instead of her name. Everybody liked her. Heck, even her own "sisters" stood up for her when she became a sitting target for one of the resident douchebags. But when she tried to become a member of a non-GC online community, it was discovered that she wasn't even a member. She had a prior tie to the sorority, but she was never initiated even though she went around posing as one online and IRL.
It's instances like these that make some of us suspicious, especially when the member refuses to verify herself while at the same time having "questionable" behavior on the boards.
