We had this very issue this semester. A pledge failed to fulfill her requirements and she was not voted in by the brotherhood. It happens, and although it is sad when it does, it would have been worse for the chapter if they had allowed her in. I think, in her case, she was spread way too thin (she was in 3 or 4 other organizations, plus having a job and being in some sort of pagent, not to mention her classload as a senior) and adding A Phi O to the mix would have meant the chapter came out on the short end of the bargain.
I'm in agreement.....let all who want to, pledge. Be selective with choosing who is made a brother. If pledges can't show committment to the chapter as pledges, what makes us think they will as brothers?
Again, my .02.....
