My experience on the NPC side has been that it takes a *lot* to get rid of an NM, and that most orgs don't let chapters make that decision on their own (i.e. it has to be run up the volunteer alumnae chain), so initiating early wouldn't make a huge difference in terms of kicking someone out.
Of course, if a chapter really wants to get rid of someone, they pressure her to leave "voluntarily," but I am curious how much the early initiation matters on this issue alone.

Prior to its recent repeal, Section 47C1 of our national Fraternity Laws provided that a vote of 1/4 of those eligible to vote was sufficient to rescind a pledgeship. If doing so was warranted, it was relatively easy to accomplish.
