If they wanted to form a traditional social fraternity, then they should have, and used those practices there.

Blackballing rushees has no place in APO. Anyone who wants to pursue membership should be given the opportunity; however, not everyone will be successful in that pursuit.

How do you know such "traditional social fraternity" practices didn't stem from the chapters' charter founders?

We'll have to mutually disagree on the blackballing part, but then again a Vike will blackball an applicant in a heartbeat if the applicant doesn't come correct, consequences be damned.
