^^^Sounds like the last thing this PNM will do is make your group competitive in any real sense of the word.

Additionally, it looks like the OP's EC needs to re-think their priorities.

FWIW, our chapter was split in half about a PNM, and we ended up giving her a bid. WORST MISTAKE WE EVER MADE!!! The half who didn't like her made her life miserable, along with those of the sisters who did like her. That one pledge gave us the largest pledge class that year, but she also succeeded in dividing our chapter beyond repair - before being depledged herself.

Honestly, if that many sisters don't really want her, take a pass and find someone who really, really wants your chapter!

Don't give someone a bid just for the sake of numbers. Especially if you're still a colony - you need hard workers, not just someone who wants to wear letters. Tell your EC in no uncertain terms exactly why this woman is NOT a fit candidate for membership. If they still pressure you to bid her, tell them to go shit in their hat. Seriously.

Are you sure its your EC, or is it the way the colony is interpreting the EC's wishes to take higher numbers?
It does not sound like this PNM can be committed to establishing a colony at this time. Why waste a bid when there are other women that could potentially be hard working for the colony and be able to keep good grades and study. Insted of focusing on this girl, go out and recruit someone better to replace that spot.
