Actually, you could say that a larger pledge class can afford a guy with grade issues more study partners. Other guys either currently or already taken these classes.

Once again, I don't know how that particular chapter operates, but I've been told by several SigEp alums that nationally they have a big push in making sure their guys make grades. Who knows if a chapter says "If you don't have a 3.5 at midterm, you don't get initiated" or if they take the bottom X% of the pledge class and excuse them due to grades, even though they made the national cutoff, the chapter can always set a higher cutoff.
I'm speculating of course, but I could see on a large campus like OU, if a chapter disagrees with IFC and want to say "screw you", they could theoretically create such stipulations (ones that would be allowable under bylaws, etc.) if they didn't actually want to keep all 75 members.
Once again, this is a speculation coming to you from left field.
