#1 - If "Will" was given a bid to ABC, decides he made a mistake and wants to depledge, I don't believe the OP's organization can "re-bid"/bid him until next semester. At least that's how IFC worked on my campus.

#2- Have you talked to the officers/other members of your chapter? Are they willing to give "Will" a 2nd chance? He'll be totally screwed if he drops ABC to join EFG and EFG says, "You passed on us, we'll pass on you." You'll feel like a total d*** after encouraging him to drop his current group and then your group doesn't bid him.

#3 - Depending on the campus, for guys depledging one group and then pledging another group the next semester usually isn't that big of a deal. Off the top of my head, I can think of 2 of my chapter brothers who pledged other groups and realized that they made a mistake. Famously, David Letterman pledged Sig Ep at Ball State, then depledged and pledged Sigma Chi the next semester. I think Sig Ep got over it.
