My reading of the National Pledging Standards, you don't see the term 'neophyte' until point #20 about neophyte initation into membership thru the initiation ceremony. The term is not used when speaking about the voting by Brothers, so to me #1 doesn't count.
#3 doesn't make sense to me. What is a "pledge class initiate"?

Sorry, I missed the "s" at the end of that. I meant
A Pledge class initiated after them. So that a brother who initiated in December of 2004 would be a neophyte until the spring 2005 pledge class initiates in April 2005 and afterwards would be a prophyte. A neophyte is also considered a prophyte if a year has passed since initiation.
For an example of that in a glossary check out
