Hey Lynzi,
First off, you shouldn't know how split the decision was...that's something I'll have to talk to Babs about

Second, she was bid, so she is allowed to begin the NM process, however, just as any other NM or sister she must uphold the standards of sisterhood and her obligations to the sorority. Inappropriate actions may be something J-board can handle, thus putting her on the three-strp process which if she doesn't follow her action plan, she would be unable to initiate.
I suggest talking to Laurie ...she can help, and if not she can talk to others who can...
maybe you should also suggest ammending the local constitution to make the vote needed to offer a bid higher - like 60% or 75%.
your sister,
Casper
