I have never heard of an ADPi chapter being fined for being below total. Chapters below campus total receive assistance from their District Team of International Officers in creating more effective COR/COB programs and membership retention activities.
A chapter that is under total is operating at a financial loss. To fine a chapter that is already in the red only strains chapter finances further and increases dues. I think there are more effective ways to encourage a fiscally healthy chapter to grow-- such as giving awards and financial grants to chapters that are successfully at total.
The reason there is a drive for chapters to operate at total is so that the chapter expenses: house, leadership trainings/trips, chapter operations, etc., operate in the black and not in the red. By achieving chapter total and collecting dues from all members, chapters (which have non-profit org status) can operate and flourish. There's nothing wrong with a small chapter that is at its campus total. But there are problems when total is set at 100 and none of the chapters on campus is above 30. Campus then needs to lower its total.
