Listen to ASTAlumna06 and Gusteau!
When I got my bid, I only knew 2 brothers and their girlfriends. Since It wasnt "rush time" for our school, they scheduled a meeting between me and the president, treasurer, and recruitment chair. After all three of them approved of me, I was extended a bid. This is unconventional, as ususually you SHOULD have the chapter vote on new recruits, but the chapter should also be able to trust your exec. If your recruitment chair is not a face guy, find a way to drop him from the position. It is not fair to your chapter that someone is hurting your chapters future.
Also, don't talk down to your B group. At least they want to be involved and they are still your brothers. Find roles for them that won't jeoperdize your rush. Even if you hide them through rush, your pledges are going to meet these guys, and will eventually have to call them brothers. Lastly, have some higher standards now that you are more established on campus. Just because you give a pledge a bid who sucks, does not mean you have to initiate him.
