My 2¢
I don't believe in holding pledges over the summer, if at ALL possible. I would initiate all 8, and deduct 3 off of their quota next year. I would also see that that chapter provides 3 more Rho Chi's than usual.
Some punishment must be meted out, or the whole concept of rules is out the window. Their National is only as informed as the chapter tells them. I think my suggestions are fair to both the chapter and the Panhellenic system, and I say that wondering if it was my own National.

edited to add: if these women are held over, and end up deciding not to be initiated in the fall, they would still have to wait the one calendar year prior to accepting another bid. Or worse, turning them against the Greek system entirely. I don't think that they should be penalized for the chapter's (and Greek Advisor's) mistake.
