I've been both a "hold over" and someone who has advocated holding someone over... and for the most part it comes down to numbers in the voting - ie. enough to grant Associate Membership but not quite enough to initiate - as in either not enough of the guys made an effort to get to know him or sound him out; or that the guy in question didn't make enough of an impression (good or bad) on the members.
This all being said some of the strongest members i've seen in a number of Greek systems are those that where "held-over" - most likely due to the fact the truely dedicated and motivated members stuck with it.
