In addition to TSteven's comments, also keep in mind that while the President's statement may have been true, he also could have lied to him. Members of a GLO won't discuss membership selection and why someone received a bid, or why they didn't. What if all of the brothers really didn't like him? The President probably isn't going to say that.
Encourage him to rush again, but advise him not to ask any member why he didn't receive a bid (if he goes bidless again). That can just create awkward situations, and the potential for lying by the members. Some people find it very rude to be asked this question. He just shouldn't do it. Tell him to cut his losses and move on to the next fraternity that might extend him a bid. All he can do is try.
