What could be causing the serpentine belt to split twice in less than a week?

The serpentine belt split in half Friday. I changed it Sunday morning. (It is a V6 so I had to lower the engine to replace the belt). Then, monday evening I hear noise, check the engine and see the new belt has also split in half. What could be causing this?
