I would maybe have a sit down with him and bring a copy of the green book (panhellenic should have one somewhere, if your chapter doesn't), find the agreement, and just ask in a non-provocative way "we're not trying to be vindictive here, but this is the information we have regarding this policy, and this is the authority on the subject...are we misinterpreting? is there a possibility that you are? we just want to be educated so that we do the right thing and know what's going on." I don't see how he could argue with the text, and that way it wouldn't look like your chapter was just trying to burn the girl. It's a rule to keep everyone from pledging and depledging willy-nilly. the choice to join a sorority is a serious committment, and bending that rule for one person makes room for others.
