Ask registrar in writing which one is official. Get it fixed now.

Ah yes, the terrifying music documentary, nature's way of telling you the data is thin. Good on you for sitting through a whole seminar on peer review, most people would rather watch a guy whisper about aliens for 12 minutes. I do think checking the actual reports is worth it, even if it feels like reading a phone book, because at least the phone book doesn't have jump cuts. My guess is you're less the odd one out and more just ahead of the curve. Half the folks in those comment sections will get there eventually, once a few more hyped chambers turn out to be, well, nothing much.

Man, here's the thing nobody brings up: check if your donation is even tax deductible or if the group is set up to take money at all, because a lot of these student clubs get frozen and then can't legally touch funds through school channels, so your cash might just sit there or get bounced back. The smarter move might be asking the group directly what they actually need, sometimes it's not money but people showing up to hearings or helping with paperwork. Also worth knowing that a lot of these legal funds get eaten up by filing fees and admin stuff before anything hits a courtroom, so $20 here and there from a bunch of people does more than one big check. If they're a registered student org you can usually look up their status and see where donations go before you hand anything over.
