The only details “required” by Form are the first and last name because that is the absolute minimum info needed for the entry to be saved into the database properly. No other info can be required. Not that you asked this specifically, but seemed worth mentioning since it is related.
re: Is there a way to ensure that a member who goes to submit their information will only be entering the information that I would like to collect and it will be according to the strings that I have designated using the “say what” plug in?
The Say What? plugin only allows you to change strings in Connections it does not have any ability to limit what the user submits.
One easy thing you can do is navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Form tab. On that settings page you can control the fieldsets and their order to be displayed.
A bit more difficult… if there are address types, for example, that you wish the user not be able to submit those can be removed similarly how new address types can be added. If that is what you are asking… I can quickly craft the code snippets for you to apply to your site.
Hope this helps!
