Did I violate any disclosure expectations by not listing I was in a fraternity in college when asked on an application for extracurriculars?
The reason I didn't list the fraternity is that I have been out of college a while and any experience I had in the fraternity was furthered by my professional experience. However, upon reflection, I want to make sure I am not transgressing an expectation of full disclosure.
I have already received a decision and a scholarship from the school in question, so disclosing now would mean sending a separate email to the admissions office. I would rather not, but I don't want withholding this information to potentially jeopardize anything. Hence the reason I am seeing if anyone here has insight on what is expected in terms of disclosure on extracurriculars.

Re: Extracurricular Disclosure Expectations
Unless some part of the application affirmatively said you need to disclose this—maybe it's somehow responsive to C&F prompts?—no, you're not breaking a rule or anything. I'd wager most people are less than 100% exhaustive about college activities.

Thank you for your response and for giving me some clarification of the general expectations.The Lsat Airbender wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 1:43 pmUnless some part of the application affirmatively said you need to disclose this—maybe it's somehow responsive to C&F prompts?—no, you're not breaking a rule or anything.

My time in the fraternity was not relevant to any character and fitness prompt for this school, thankfully.
