Your GC recommendations will usually corroborate anything you claim to have done. If it is a major award/activity, it will be easy to check and you can be sure that they will (ex: national awards), and if it is something medium-sized the GC or recommenders will likely mention it; if not, they may check in with the GC to confirm. If it’s really, really small it won’t affect your app anyway.

You shouldn’t lie (obviously because it’s morally wrong) but also because if they ever find out that you lied, even after getting in, completing your four years, and getting your degree, they can easily revoke your degree and you end up pretty bad off.
