If it is a numbers issue, not bidding anyone or everyone. All it takes is the element of questionable behavior, grades, or risk management issues to make things a lot worse. Not only can it mess up reputation and other issues, but if these new members are particularly heinous, older members who are not problems may bail because of it. Sure you may have made quota, but those women may also be your downfall.
Also advisors and collegiate officers need to be willing to get rid of problem people. I don't mean in the DePauw way
but if there is a member putting pictures of herself snorting coke off random fratties while in a lettered thong all over Facebook, she doesn't participate, and her grades suck, better to drop her fast and not worry about one person as a number. She could actually be causing more problems and driving potential members away.
