We don't run by formal rush rules (there's only two NPC sororities on campus and the other one doesn't want to run by NPC rules for rush), so I'm not sure if this can be used as a loop hole (as awful as that sounds). Sorry if this should be in the rush forum, but I think it might be a little scary for PNMs to read, and I think it applies here as well. [/B]

I would check with your NPC area advisor/ NPC delegate/ international officer who is responsible for rush/ membership development. Even if your campus doesn't follow NPC rush rules, your International policies are based upon the "green book".
I'm not disputing the things that others have stated about the risks that this woman could potentially pose (and I've seen both good and bad happen in similar situations).
The rule that one is bound for a calendar year by a bid was designed to cut back on 'dirty rushing'... i.e, stealing another groups new members. Since the woman chose not to accept the bid when it was offered, it's a little different than being matched in formal rush bid-matching. Your international officers can best tell you how to proceed.
