I don't know if you heard of the term bull pledge but basically down here in FL we use it if a pledge doesn't make grades or is ready to be initiated..we hold them over to the following semester's pledge class. We are on a 8 week pledge program here by university rules(its retarted but not much you can do...last year we went from max 16 week pledgeship to a max of 8). Anyways, we don't make them wear their pin or carry their pledge manuel but they have to go through pledgeship all over again by going to pledge class etc. Thats one loop-hole your chapter should look at for these guys. Hope this helps

That's pretty cool - we actually have something similar. Pledging in my fraternity usually lasts two semesters. Exceptions are made when someone enters the fraternity at a pretty advanced state in his studies (reduction to one semester) or if he failes the initiation exam or otherwise does not seem ready for initiation. Then he has to be pledge for a 3rd semester. It works pretty well.
