Unless Panhellenic enforces this in some way, I don't see the point of having such an agreement. Plus it seems to be treading into MS territory.
I can't speak for SDT at Bama since I'm not an SDT. But I don't know why a campus Panhellenic would set a chapter total if they didn't want all groups on their campus to reach chapter total. I don't think it treads into MS territory at all. I just think whether you have 1 or 50 open spots the chapter should be actively trying to find new members who meet their membership requirements. (I don't know of any campus Panhellenic who dictates what those membership requirements are.) I'm not saying to go out and give bids to every female on campus. I guess working as a regional recruitment volunteer I have witnessed chapters (AOII & other NPC groups) who just don't understand the importance of reaching chapter total. I don't think college aged women see the bigger picture that reaching chapter total has its advantages and long term benefits for a chapter. Obviously there are exceptions to this but I commend UF Panhellenic for helping those chapters with open spots.
