Sorry to be negative Nancy, but if a chapter can take that many new members so soon after formal and are not the least bit concerned about WHO they are beyond "now closed XYZ bid them so they must be ok" then I have real doubts about their viability.
I was a spectator at a meeting with some higher-ups of the NPC, and this is actually a concept that many GLOs would embrace for smaller chapters. You get a get a group of women who are already bonded, interested in sorority ideals, and can raise the level of desirability for the smaller chapter. The downside is that they will probably overrun the chapter, and the chapter (if it's a weak smaller chapter) won't be able teach the newbies how to effectively run a recruitment and/or chapter.

I tend to agree with what steelerbear said. Good groundwork!
