For most chapters, the only pledging requirements involves amassing a certain number of service project, and/or to execute a service project of their own. The requirements themselves are too easy for someone to "pimp the system" and get the letters. It really doesn't illustrate a person's willingness to serve in the org; it only gives a superficial sense of whether or not a person is worthy of being a brother.

You certainly DON'T have to accept everyone who pledges, especially if they don't complete the requirements.

I think most brothers don't want to have to explain to the sectional/regional director why a pledge didn't get initiated. And a lot of these pledges will run crying to the chapter advisor/SC/RD in a minute if they don't get in rather than suck it up and re-pledge.

I don't believe in selecting who pledges, but I do believe in selecting who gets initiated.

(at bolded) I DO!! It keeps a lot of potential bulljive and needless subsequent drama at the door where it belongs.
