The only way that he can truly find out if the fraternity did not follow their rules is by contacting the national office and asking to speak with someone. He can tell what happened and see if they can give him more information.
My 2 cents: It is a terrible thing to drop somebody before right before initiation. The only circumstances that I know of are where the pledge did something so egregious right before the ceremony that the membership voted to drop him.
Also, in my own experience, especially with a large chapter, it usually takes a percentage of the chapter to vote to drop a pledge. The chapter I advise actually requires a larger percentage to drop (25%), than to no bid (15%).
