Sorry to offend the n00b, but I was being funny and flip. The fact of the matter is, if you wrote that group down on your bid card and that's who you got a bid from, you are bound to them for a year...so yes, not taking it at that point is stupid. You can't take a bid anywhere else, so you might as well give it a whirl. Go to bid day. Keep telling yourself "these girls like me. These girls chose me."
This is why I think it's so injurious to struggling chapters when they aren't allowed to cut ANYONE, no matter how bad a fit the woman may be, no matter how rude they may be, no matter how unsuitable in general they may be. Girls who the group really DOES want who may have had a question about the group see women who obviously are only there for reasons of numbers and they can't confidently say to themselves "I am here because they wanted me." The girls who could have been a positive addition quit, and the chapter continues on its downward spiral.
The concept of sisters who just drift away has pretty much been eradicated. It used to be a lot looser than it is now.
