to bid or not to bid

If this was a "random" rushee saying these things and being this rude, would you be asking the same question? It's not for me to judge whether or not this girl should be in your sorority since I am not a member. Regardless of whether or not she is a legacy, she should be given all courtesy, however when someone, legacy or not acts this way, will your organization benefit from her acceptance into it?

Most national/international sororities are not required (as per my knowledge) to just give a bid to a legacy even if she doesn't mesh well with the chapter as it would cause disharmony and not be in the best interest of the chapter. In my organization we are required to consider it, but if there is a good reason for not offering a bid, then we are not required to do so. If the chapter chooses not to extend the bid, then the relative must be contacted in a timely manner and informed of the decision by a member of our Alum Advisory Committee.

I know this is wordy, but in essence if this woman is not going to be a benefit to your chapter, I don't think that you should be required to bid her.
