I don't think he has any right to a refund regardless of his grades. Whether any given member is a pledge or an active, dues are similar to things like netflix or a theme park annual pass. You pay for the privilege of making use of a service. Just because you pay your money, doesn't mean you're entitled to a refund if you never bother to actually use the service that's been made available to you. Grades and dues are altogether separate questions. It's incumbent upon every member, pledge and active alike, to live up to the obligations of membership, both financial and academic. Not even legacies are guaranteed to be initiated, so no garden variety pledge in his right mind has any basis upon which he can actually think he can force a chapter to initiate him, especially when he can't or won't live up to his own obligations.
