First of all I strongly agree with PnguinTrax! Listen to her beccause she KNOWS what she's talking about.
Furthermore, you are still rushing these girls after they've signed their bid card. Just because they're pledging doesn't mean they have to stay. You should enlighten them to why they've mad the right choice and do everything in your power to make them feel comfortable, accepted and loved. Hazing is not a part of that (not assuming you hazed, just mentioning it).
Also, if your chapter is torn on the issue then it needs to discuss it in private. Your officers should lead a discussion with your advisors present and what is talked about (feelings) should be kept within the initiated members. If something terrible happened then the appropriet actions need to be taken, and unfrotunately that might mean some of your sisters will be punished and your chapter MIGHT have to decide what their stance is. It's not a matter of turning your back on your sister if they are punished - It's a matter of doing the right thing and helping them understand what it is they did wrong.
As for the new members, get their opinions on the subject and how it made them feel. If there is an overwhelming majority that felt something bad happened then you need to side with them. They are the future of your chapter and they would have no reason to lie.
Just some food for thought!
Good Luck and I hope things get better~
