I'm on a campus where fraternity sizes aren't large, but it doesn't take many abstains for a possible pledge to passed up, at least for another week, sometimes altogether.
My chapter was consistently that size. Like I said, the meetings could take forever, and it wasn't uncommon for a brother to sneak out (or angrily storm out if his favorite was cut) after awhile. Nobody was allowed to abstain though, however it was pretty common to count the "no" votes first (since only 15% was needed) because it would simply be easier to count.
