I don't know your group's rules, but in mine, once someone rejects a bid (I'm assuming you gave these guys bids since you liked them so much), they have to be re-issued (and re-voted) a bid by the chapter. Membership selection is private, obviously, so I don't know what your group does. Have you discussed this with your chapter yet?
On my campus, it would cause a lot of drama if a pledge from one group and then immediately start pledging another. Your group could get the moniker of not being able to get their own guys so they have to steal pledges. On my campus, these sort of rumors linger for a long time. (Even more so if your group has had any recent membership struggles, "xyz needs to steal pledges just to survive")
If Nick can't handle the first few days of the pledging would he be able to handle yours? There were guys who I thought were assholes when I pledged, but ended up becoming really good friends with.
Personally, if I was in your chapter and you presented this situation, I'd vehemently take the no-bid stance. The guys already proved they're wishy-washy and joined for superficial reasons. They'll probably end up being members who occasionally show-up or members who quit a year or less after initiation.
Unless you're really hurting for members (and don't care about your reputation), I'd pass. Too much drama potential, no guarantee they'll be stellar members.
Personally I think you just have a big rush-crush still and are trying to convince yourself you can still get these guys. Let it go.
