No, not at all. Its simply a euphamism for getting them to understand that if they dont correct their errant behaviors, they will be cut. Often they are never really told the seroiusness of the situation. i.e., straighten up and fly right. Or as my red neck mother would say, "lower the boom," on them. Cut them, hold them over we have held a pledge over for three semesters before. He finally got the clue. I imagine your initiation vote percentage is significantly higher than your pledging vote percentage. For example, in my org, it takes 65% to pledge, but 82% to get initiated. If you do not have a higher standard, I'd suggest looking at your chapters bylaws. It would make a lot of this argument moot. If a few of you recognize these "boys" (to use penguintrax venacular) are slacking, they wouldnt make the higher initiation vote percentage anyway.
