Do colleges really verify everything you say....

I think it is wrong that they don’t check. I realize that the bigger schools have other problems to deal with, but couldn’t they just ask for a verifying letter from the activity coordinator or something? My Key Club is having a huge problem with this. Kids who aren’t even members are claiming to be officers. It is really unfair to those kids who worked hard and stepped up to the plate.
As to whether you should lie or not, I agree with the majority here. Just tell the truth. In all honesty, the fact that you aren’t captain and you still did the work speaks volumes about your character and how dedicated you are.
