[aephi alum]

My chapter didn't do the "cut once, cut always" thing, and I'm glad. As others have said, sometimes you have to cut great women because of grades or release figures, and why shouldn't these women get another shot?

As for how far back a chapter's "memory" goes as to why a particular woman was cut, it seems to me that it should be irrelevant, because there's a different group of sisters voting when she rushes later on. Although, I think a difficult or painful decision would be remembered ("Oh, I remember Susie PNM! We had to cut her for grades last year. Sally Sister left crying because Susie was her rush crush. But Susie's really brought her grades up this year.")
