If she is going to be a good recruiter then you should definately let her on the floor in one of your pairings. I think this for many reasons.
First, she is a sister the same as the other women and should be given the chance to help choose her new sisters just like anyone else - unless she has turettes (sp?) or can't help talking about things that don't pertain to recruitment (boys, booze etc). She should be able to recruit loke everyone else.
Second, what kind of message is this sending to PNM's that we "hide" the women we don't want them to see in the kitchen??? Big, small, tall, short they are all our sisters and we should be proud of all of our chapter. Yes, I know this is hard at times, but we should still all try.
Third, what kind of message is this sending to your sister if she does have an eating disorder? Eating disorders are caused by a variety of things, but I seem to hear that predominately it is a lack of self-worth or value and in some cases a feeling of disgust by what your body looks like. By putting her into the kitchen you are reinforcing that she is not valuable enough to help recruit new members and that possible it is b/c of the way she looks.
None of these are things that we want to happen in our chapters. If you really feel under pressure to not have her recruit, speak with your Membership Advisor or Chapter Advisor. If you truely think this woman has an eating disorder then you need to speak to them anyway.
