No need for that. Show some brotherhood. A good reason to vote on
pledges and qualitative things. See below.

So you _DO_ vote on pledges. I understand that you don't if they meet
their requirements, but you do vote. (Or you let the pledge board decide
for you which is worse because if the pledge is close but has upset the
board for some reason, that pledge will not get in) Also, if a pledge
meets all the quantitative requirements but is a complete jerk, what do
you do??? There has to be some way of deciding if the person espouses
broutherhood.
