Congratulations on your new member class! As for the women that did not come back, unfortunately, many pnms get their hearts set on their first choice. They lack the maturity to see that they can be happy as part of another chapter. They may have signed their bid cards saying that they would accept a bid from their "back up" chapter and when that became a reality could not accept that they did not get their first choice.
Even through your first post, you shared that after you were extended a bid you stepped back to take some time to consider the financial and time commitments. Women get nervous and scared sometimes. Some may regret not accepting the bid extended and show up again next semester. Only they can control that aspect of it.
Having experienced recruitment from the other side now, I am sure you see how hard it is from both perspectives. There are disappointed actives as well as pnms.
The best thing to do now is share an enthusiastic welcome with your new members and enjoy getting to know them. Don't worry about the ones that got away.
