juniorgrrl,
You poor thing - you have really been put through the wringer as far as all this is concerned! Here's a hug for you . [o]
I agree with imsohappythatiama's recommendations, with one addition: go to the Greek Affairs office and ask for a WRITTEN COPY of LSU Panhellenic's rush rules. Unless it is there in black and white that "cut once cut again" is true, it is a tradition, NOT a rule, and shouldn't be used against you or any other girl going through rush.
Did XYZ get quota this fall and/or are they at total? If they are short of membership - especially at such a competitive school - their nationals might have told them "forget this cut once cut again crap."
Aside from all this - as Tom Cruise said in Risky Business, "sometimes you just gotta say, what the @$%*!" I find that the things I regret are the things I DIDN'T do, not the things I did. So go for it, and then you won't have to look back years later thinking "I wish I had!"
