Yes, you do have that option. USE IT. Pledging anything with an ovary will only make your situation worse. If you are being forced to do so by your national org, tell them "We don't want to give Jessie a bid because her grades are awful and she has a bad repuation on campus." Be specific in your reasons. "She doesn't fit" or "she's not DZ material" is not going to cut it.
Don't bid girls you don't want to call sisters. PERIOD. If there's another sorority on campus doing OK, it's not that women don't want Greek life. It's just that they don't want the Greek life your group is offering.
Better to have 15 involved, committed, wonderful girls than 40 girls and half of them don't show up or do nothing but create drama.
Are you recruiting girls outside of formal rush? If not, you need to start doing so.
Also: stop thinking of the other sorority as your "rival." They're your Panhellenic sisters. Pitting yourselves against them (and vice versa) will not help you, and will not help the interest in Greek life in general.
