As I understand it...
By a woman being "bound", even if she declines her bid and the chapter fills her spot, it merely means she is not eligible to go through recruitment for a calendar year. I think the intent of this policy (balanced by the "guaranteed matching for maximizing options" that many schools have) is for PNMs to really think about what chapters they write down on their MRAA and the consequences of their rankings.
Think about it, if a Panhellenic guarantees a bid for PNMs who maximize their options, but without the NPC "bound for a year" policy, every PNM would rank all of their options, whether or not they intend to join that chapter. This would inflate quota and most likely "less popular" chapters would match quota, but would experience many no-shows on bid day. That only creates a void that needs to be filled while "popular" chapters have an inflated quota of new members, furthering a membership gap.
I could be totally wrong, but this is my guess.
