I'm especially thinking of the last woman you mentioned about being pressured by friends. A little time and seeing that people still like her and all the awesomeness of your chapter may be what sways her.
Very good point...I think a lot of non-Greeks think that people in sororities only want to be your friend until you decide whether or not to join. This is your chapters opportunity to prove them wrong. Of course, her friends will have to realize that she didn't betray them by not joining since it's an awkward position to be in.
