Hold your ears all, I'm about to e-shout...
DO NOT EVER EVER EVER GIVE SOMEONE A BID BECAUSE YOU FEEL SORRY FOR THEM.
Our chapter did this once, and although I do like the girl as a person, she made a crummy sister. She was just not up to the resposibilities of it. Another chapter on my campus took a girl who we had turned down several times(most of our sisters couldn't stand her and she couldn't take a hint) to fulfill their numbers requirements for colonization, and because, as one of the sisters said, they felt sorry for her. Guess who they were all bitching about 3 weeks later.
Think about what will happen if you go through with this:
1. It will get around campus that "all you have to do to get into ZSX is beg for a bid."
2. There will be members who resent this girl because of the way she got in.
3. The reasons you didn't click with her will become more and more evident.
I do agree on setting up criteria, such as grades, community involvement etc...however, in my opinion, anyone who would lower themselves to beg for a bid is the last kind of person you would want in your sorority, especially in a developing sorority such as yours.
