The problem with the concept DubaiSis laid out is it gets
twisted. Panhels start overriding chapters' membership selection decisions and pushing women who were released FOR LEGIT REASONS into parties, and it's usually the less popular chapters who are the lucky receptacles. They feel sorry for the girls (because they're in a similar situation on a group level) and maybe give them bids because of that - which just drives away the more desirable PNMs and sends the chapter even further downward.
Yes it sucks that girls get cut completely, but if Panhel wants to butt in, they should have a pre-rush weekend that pulls no punches about RFM and heavy cuts. The problem arises when women aren't told to expect the worst along with hoping for the best.
ETA: As Titchou said below, the individual groups do always have this option of going back and saying "wow, we screwed up cutting her, let's have her back." I just believe that it should come from the group, and not as a nudge/suggestion/dictate from Panhellenic.
