We never used a blackball per se and I don't believe that one vote could keep a girl out. However, when one person (alum or active) does have majorly serious concerns about a PNM, the chapter needs to listen.

I have sent a no-rec twice. I had accompanied 3 high school Girl Scouts to Asia and one spent all her time trying to hook up with every sailor she saw. After spending 3 weeks dragging her butt out of trouble, I definitely could not see her wearing the arrow.

The other time was recently when I felt that a PNM our family knew was seriously disturbed. My AOII daughter likewise sent a letter of warning to her chapter at that school. The PNM did manage to pledge a sorority but was depledged by the group for bizarre behavior.
