[PenguinTrax]

I think the problems starts with the fact that the booklet says 'how to join', which makes an assumption on the part of the PNM that if you follow the things outlined in the booklet, they will be able to join regardless. I think you need to set up the process from the get-go as one of mutual selection and that the membership selection process is an internal matter. Your area alumnae advisers should be able to give you some additional direction on this.
