Howard does that all of the time and have been doing it for quite sometime for not just BGLO but for all GLO's on our campus. Because this is an open forum and it would go into some very in depth stuff, I will not go into to great detail herre:} but at Zeta Phi, just like you have a spec family, you have a number family that helps you get through the process. Many times, numbers have a certain type of attitude or bond that links them together and it is up to the pledge {trefoils for us} to be that ish. Like, if you are going to be a nine in my chapter, you better be tight, because that is the standard, 18 you got to be a pimp, 11 got to have Attitude, deuces-dutty, so on and so forth. Your number family is even more personalized because you will only have one number on any given line so therefore it is up to all of those who have that same number to make sure that they earn the number on their shirt! Now if someone could not earn their number which causes them to drop then that is that number family's loss. So figuratively speaking, you have 6 pledges but #5 drops then there is no number 5. But you can't take someone's elses because they did not earned that number through their process. ex. #6 remains #6 because that is what he/she worked for during their process. I hope that explains some of it. Like I said earlier, I can't go into too much detail over a public forum.
