Ok that might be a little harsh to say, that the women would RUIN the chapter.
I think you need to tone it down a tiny bit and be honest, you get a hit or miss situation. They could be your star siters, or they could all deactivate.
No matter which way it goes, it will be in the long term, harmful to your chapter's reputation. (Let's be honest, it matters) It takes away from the signifigance of the bid, but also creates that idea of "they'll take anyone" Yep, you might end up with all the rotten apples, but, to me, ruin is a little dramatic.
We've given a lot of good advice. Your chapter needs to be highly motivated and work their butts off. But never forget to let the sorority become ALL business, keep the fun, find ways for women to connect and encourage them to bring in their non-greek friends. That CampuSpeak guy told us that we need to replace ourselves twice over. So set the goal for each woman to bring in two more by their junior year. Plan ahead, replace your juniors, not your seniors so you don't scramble to replace the most amazing 15 women ever in a sorority, use the older ones to help show what DPhiE really is about.
Good luck!
