One guy that was pledging with me got dropped 2 days before we were to be initiated. Lol

You know, looking back I cannot think that there was anything that I thought truly mean.
The most important boss I have ever had- meaning the one person who has had the greatest positive impact on my career and my leadership style- once taught me an important lesson about firing people.
She told me that if I ever fired someone and they were totally surprised- then it was my fault because someone who is about to get fired should have already received proper warnings and specific expectations such that they would, deep down inside, know what was going to happen when they came in the office to meet me for a "chat".
I think the same holds true for pledgeship. Maybe not every semester, but at least once a year a pledge would get dropped. And yes, sometimes it was close to the point of initiation.
But I do not ever remember any of them being totally surprised about it.
So we did our job in making sure they knew before the fact that they were not meeting expectations. After that it was just a matter of them failing to fix the problem and then just waiting to be let go.
