[Betarulz!]

We don't necessarily "blackball" but in the event of the pledge period being terminated by the chapter, yes the pledge would have to move out. It takes a 2/3 majority of a 2/3 quorum to pass such a motion.

However, in my own experience the cases in which depledging is considered has had more to do with the pledge not being around...missing meetings, failing song and lore tests, and just not dedicating themselves to earning the right to wear the badge by striving to meet the requirements set out for initiation. In cases where initiation has been heald off, (both guys were living in), it has not been a question of meeting requirements, but rather IMHO lackluster reasons of disrespect to actives/pledge brothers (I didn't see it), or just the guy being a pile and people thinking that he needed to be more active in order to be considered a Beta (he is a pile, but he did fulfill his requirements like the rest of us...) In those cases which happened simultaneously they were not initated until mid way through the semester, and they continued to live in.
