Yes, but once those women are chosen by the national, they still have to complete the new member program, take exams etc...they most certainly don't get a free pass into the sorority. That's why I think James' suggestion to waive the pledge program is absolutely terrible. (and sunshine, I too took it to mean letting them in w/out any sort of pledging/orientation whatsoever) That's called giving your letters away, and that's how groups end up closing 5-7 years after their big "renaissance" and everyone says "but they had such a wonderful comeback! What happened!"
Yes you are going to have women who just pledged in high offices...yes you are going to have sisters with 3 littles at a time (if you're lucky!)...but you don't give your letters away.
