Dropping a Pledge

[Buttonz]

I know pledges are dropped all the time for different reasons, and none of you can tell me for sure, but I'm wondering if this seems likely.

I know this guy, let's call him J. J shocked myself and some other friends by rushing and pledging ABC this tri.

I saw him on Tuesday night, and he wasn't wearing his pledge pin, so I asked him about it. He told me he was dropped for being "to confident" and that he wasn't going to be anyone's b***h, which is what they wanted from him. Now I know a bit about ABC's pledge process and I know it's not easy.

To be honest, I would have been shocked if he made it. For reasons that have more to do with him then anything.

Does this sound like a reason why a pledge might be dropped? Or is it more likely that he dropped himself and won't admit to it (after already dropping XYZ in the winter tri).
