Edited because I didn't realize the advisors gave bids to randoms without nationals' OK. (How many actually took them?) I would definitely go to your area/district peson about that, unless your bylaws say it's allowed.

As for the girl who the chapter was split about....my chapter went through the exact same thing with old vs new sisters wanting to bid different types of people. The thing to remember though is, you & the older sisters ARE the ones who picked the new sisters who are opposing you now. (Unless, of course, it was your advisory board who picked them.) They are going to have their own ideas and they aren't always going to be yours. Like AOII Angel said, you have to face the fact that every chapter member is not necessarily going to be someone you would want as a sister (or vice versa) and trust their judgement. It's hard as hell sometimes, but it is "the circle of life."

It really does sound like you want to bust them on the drinking just to "get back" at them. Remember if you do that, you might not have a chapter to come back to. (Of course, if only half your chapter is showing up for rush, that might happen anyway.)
