Several people have mentioned black balling someone during their pledge period. How does that work? I know ZBT does sabre-ing, but they don't have a pledge period, so I'd imagine that's different.
We have two votes, both by secret ballot after discussion, both by the entire chapter: one to offer a bid and one, toward the close of the probationary member period, to approve initiation. A 3/4 majority is required for both votes. Less than 3/4 majority on the first vote and no bid is offered; less then 3/4 majority on the second one and the probationary member is not initiated.
