My thing is, if you were cut once, there was probably a reason, a solid reason, and I don't think its fair that she's essentially playing the system backwards and going though again to get in our house and isn't really caring about any other house. I talked to an older girl about it and she said to trust the system, so I am, but is that "dirty rushing" technically or am I just crazy?

I don't think this is dirty rushing at all. She got to know a sister and the sister really likes her, and apparently the other sisters do too. That's pretty much the best way to get a bid if you're a sophomore. Many women don't do well going straight from high school to sorority rush without knowing anyone (I know I wouldn't have) and that year of college makes a big difference for some people.
As far as the sister calling her "pledge daughter to be" - well, it's her reputation that's going on the line. It will shake out however it shakes out. If this girl gets a bid and turns out to be awful, you can bet no one will EVER listen to any recommendation your sister makes ever again.
