No. I'll go beyond that and say that someone who says something like that has no place being a leadership consultant. I don't know, none of these cute little quotes seem to really go with that...

I just love when people present "hypothetical" situations when they've posted their chapter for all to see. I agree with whoever said that if I heard "well, we only gave 33girl a bid because we knew it would piss AlphaFrog off - we really don't like her" I wouldn't be likely to do anything that anyone suggested in terms of my appearance. Especially since I know they could care less about ME and MY happiness I might gain if I lose weight or whatever - all they care about is their sorority's image.
You're a young chapter. Consider this as a lesson learned when you're pressured in the future to pledge women to get your numbers up (only to have an LC come back 6 months later and say "what were you THINKING??") or when there's someone whose name coming up in membership selection divides the chapter. A chapter that colonized at my school took anyone to get the numbers to get that charter - they lost a lot of the movers and shakers that got the chapter started because of it and never really recovered.
You say that they're voting against women they think are "too good" - I won't ask about your (guess they're not very secret) MS practices, but it's their right to vote however they like. They're TWO people. Did their votes prevent anyone from getting a bid? If your chapter's that small, I think you have worse things than these two girls to worry about....
