And yet, in my experience, exceptions can and have been made. I think it probably varies with chapters.
My instinct is if they are asking for a letter, then they want one. They want to hear more about the pnm, her situation, etc. And better to have a letter that everyone can read, analyze, debate and discuss than rely on Susie Sorority's courtroom skills to convince the membership that her rush crush is worth the academic risk.
No need to make the letter sound defensive, either. It just needs to be well written and clearly explains your situation. I think the fact that you had one bad year or semester balanced by good ones will carry weight, but that needs to be laid out in the letter. I don't think the chapter will see your transcript - just your current gpa, so this would be info they need to better assess your case.
