This kid is an amazing person who would be great for our house and we share many things in common and even though he says he will rush in spring there are already other fraternities after him. I've already told him that i would pay for his ticket but he has too much pride t take it. I'm having lunch with him in an hour.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I think that the kid has a good head on his shoulders to face to consequences of his ticket. On the other hand, you sound like an awesome brother to offer to pay for it (not sure if you expect it back). Maybe "give" it to him but tell him you will accept a payment plan. THat way he will understand that a helping hand is not something to take advantage of.
In the end, one's pride is pretty hard to break. Tell him you will be there for him as a friend if he decides to depledge, and don't renig on that. Lastly, there might be more going on than that ticket. Talk to him, but let him feel free to make up his mind.
