I completely agree w/ blackball. The Pikes at my school do it, then give the guy a chance to shape up before completely throwing him out.
Holding them till fall may be the best thing about this. You know that any pledges that come back will be dedicated! If they bail over the summer, they would've even if they were initiated.
Cracking down on them doesn't mean physical activities or yelling at them. What do you do to an active that slacks off? Treat the pledge the same way. If that means a standards or judicial board, drag their butts in there. If it means fine them because their skipping meetings, do it.
You want them to be brothers. So treat them like they already are!
Make sure their involved w/ the chapter too. If the chapter plays sports, put pledges on the team. If you have a philanthropy coming up, make sure they pull their weight!
