Any chapter that has a "once cut, always cut" policy is screwing themselves. I'm sure even the most prestigious chapters at Bama have taken a sophomore at one point or another, however rare they may be. The policy doesn't leave the door open for someone the chapter might actually want the second time around. An overlooked freshman may have been cut simply because of numbers reasons and not because there was anything wrong with her. If she were a much better candidate her sophomore year (like she knows sisters who want her in the chapter). Oh, too bad, "once cut, always cut." The chapter's loss.
