After all, if you are an initiated member of your fraternity/sorority, you've already gone through one membership selection process, and you shouldn't ever have to go through another, correct?

I like it in theory, but sometimes in practice things can end up messy and tear a chapter apart.
I'm not talking about the superficial situations where "Nancy Nu is way too fat and ugly to be one of us." More of the situations where Sally Sigma had to leave her previous school primarily because of behavioral and reputation issues and continues right down that path at the new school.
Also, there really are chapters in the south where dozens of women would continue to come in through the back door via a "lesser" chapter were there not these rules in place. Those kinds of deliberate transfers can have a horrible effect on the originating chapter, both numbers and morale wise.
