we also had holdovers back in the day, with formal recruitment before fall classes started-these girls all came back, and participated fully in recruitment as pledges.

i would encourage the chapter to initiate these girls asap and not wait until after formal recruitment. if they have fulfilled all the requirements of membership, then they should be initiated, no matter how busy with formal recruitment prep. the chapter is.

perhaps the new member coordinator could recruit some volunteers to send cards, small gifts, email and phone these new members on a regular basis over the summer break.
