If a chapter is having grade issues (low membership, the 10 girls below a 2.0 wouldn't be an issue if there were 100 women, but there are only 50) they may not be able to get around that rule. I only mention it as I've seen it happen where a woman didn't receive a bid until her grades were higher and the chapter was healthier. I've seen it happen with fraternities too, since they'd rather have better grades and a member who won't be out of school the following semester.
But yes, you're right, sometimes exceptions happen.
ETA: One exception I personally know of was for a woman who had poor grades due to family/health issues and was uanble to get them expunged from her record without losing all college process and credits earned (Fresh Start program). That is a rare case though.
