Never ever did we, never ever would we have given a bid to someone we'd cut the year before...it isn't a snobbiness thing, or reluctance to give someone a second chance...it's just when you have hundreds of girls going through rush each year, if you've already eliminated one in the past, you have to trust your judgment that you made the right decision then, so there is no point in wasting time and invites on re-evaluating the PNM's fit with your house. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I would bet that this is by and large the way things go. Now if a freshman girl cut a house early on in the process...like after the first round...and then rushed again her sophomore year, I am willing to bet that some houses might give her another chance, since we all know how hard it is to pick which houses to cut after just one round. Someone in each house WILL remember that she went through the year before...some houses might hold a grudge, and if she cut the house later on in the process, then almost certainly she won't get invited back, but she might have an outside chance at a house she cut at a very early stage, if she does well her freshman year and has great grades and activities.
But as everyone says, the Alpha Phi thing is a wonderful opportunity, and she should consider trying to get an invitation to join there....nationals usually are very careful to select top, top girls to be the first group of New Members, so she probably will end up with a stellar PNM group, and certainly there will be much more fanfare around everything than she would get with another house...
