Those who want to black ball him are a small faction (2-3 brothers) who have decided that They were put on this earth to fix all the wrongs in the world.

As a majority, we agree he's a good guy

If it's a "small faction" of brothers against him, and the majority of the chapter think he's just great, then, logically speaking, you should not ever get the 2/3 majority vote two weeks in a row, right?

Keep voting "no" on the blackballing until the 2-3 brothers give up and let it go. If the whole chapter tells them to shut up and keeps voting "no", what are the complainers supposed to do? Maybe you can tell them to sit down and keep their yaps shut or else the majority of the chapter will blackball *them* for being stupid.

He is registered with nationals. Our nationals only accepts names of new members from the greek life office at school. At the time he pledged, we did not have to 01 rule (stating you can't bid first semester freshman) so they turned his name in to the office when he officially became a student and it got sent to nationals, so yes he is registered.

Black balling him as an alumi would require a 2/3 vote 2 weeks in a row from the active membership. Then we send it to the GL office and they inform nationals, who removes him from the registry. Essentially it means he can no longer put "I was a member of STG" on his resume because nationals will not recognize him. It also means that any back dues he may owe (which I believe are $0) would be collected through a collection agency. He obviously couldn't wear letters anymore and wouldn't be permitted in certain parts of the house.

This is what I find improbable.

I missed that part. I agree that wouldn't happen either, as Greek Life offices have nothing to do with termination of individual members. (thank God)
