That seems plenty scary to me but maybe it's myth.

Yes, and I have never been very happy about either.
#1 - Yes, IFC chapters can kick out pledges without a problem. I have only been in favor of this if the pledge is not fulfilling his obligations. The pledge master needs to let him know that his ass is on the line. If the pledge doesn't get it together after that, I have no problem removing him from the chapter. There are members of fraternities who think that it is okay to kick out one pledge to scare the other pledges. I do have a problem with that. Why give a guy a bid, get his hopes up, knowing that you are going to kick him out before initiation.
#2 - How many members can blackball a guy varies from chapter to chapter. My own chapter went from just 1 member to 2 members to 5 members. Some chapters say that 10% of the members present have to vote to blackball. I do not think that 1 member to have that much power.
