I laid him out something awful and ultimately decided he wasn't ready for me to sponsor him. He is not an Alpha to this day.

I mean..... how are you going to be voteless, hopeless, and trying to pledge MY frat?
Delta tried this and ran into legal issues. First of all voting is a right a person may or may not excercise. You cannot mandate it. Second of all states such as MN do not issue voting registration cards. Third having a card does not ensure a person will vote anyway.
