I agree with you -- but I don't think that the failed test was the only reason he didn't get in. When the brother was holding up Steve's test and saying, "Look, the reason we didn't vote Steve in is because he failed the test, right?" my interpretation of that situation was, "Well, there are those of us who just don't want Steve as a brother, but the official line is going to be that he's not in because he didn't know his stuff." I think the guy wanted to soften the blow a little bit, and that none of them wanted to tell him, "Well, we decided we just don't like you that much and we don't want you to be a brother."
Honestly, if it was one of the other guys (besides Earl) who had failed the pledge test, they probably would have voted him in anyway. But Steve made it pretty clear that he wasn't going to give it his all. And honestly, after all the lineups they had drilling them on the history of the fraternity, if he doesn't know his stuff by now, that says something about either his intelligence or his motivation.
