What that ends up meaning in real terms is the following...
1)A chapter should have a purely objective set of requirements.
2)If a pledge passes them, the chapter better have a damn good reason to
deny them membership. (Doesn't need to be quite as strong as reasons for
suspending a brother from chapter membership, but should be close)
3)If a pledge does not pass them, a chapter still has the right to vote
them in.
4)However the pledge requirements should not be set so high that the
chapter ends up being able to vote on all (or most) pledges on a regular
basis.
My opinions on this may be in a separate post, but this is the way I have
seen it interpreted.
