(As a reminder or for those who do not know. Chapter Total had been raised last spring to 225. This is why there was spring Open Recruitment for the first time in years and 5 or 6 chapters took new members.)
Why was this done? Because it is NPC policy that any new (re) colonizing group can bid up to Chapter Average. Therefore it was only fair that the existing chapters get the opportunity to get up their numbers up to Chapter Average as well before that. And for the record, despite last year's increase there was still a fairly large discrepancy in numbers between the smallest and largest chapters.
Meaning, if Chapter Total had not been changed and it was still 225 any existing chapter that was at that, they could not take any more members. It would not be fair to them for DG to come on and be able to pledge up to Chapter Average since it turned out to be so much larger than what Chapter Total was set at.

Can't current groups also bid up to Chapter Average if the local Panhel makes provisions for them to do so? I could have sworn I saw on here that was permissible, but maybe I misread.

Just found out a friends daughter is AOPi. She is a great girl so they seem to have gotten a great pledge class.

It is my understanding that NPC now allows any chapter to bid up to Chapter Average in the year prior to a new colony coming on campus. Bama Panhellenic wanted to make it official that Chapter Total was set to Chapter Average. One of the benefits of doing it this way is that everyone, including I/Natls, are not only aware but also approve it since it requires a vote.

I can check the Green Book later if there's not a definitive answer by the time I'm home from work.

OK thanks. I thought I had read somewhere that you could do it any old time (even with a colony nowhere in sight) if Panhel OKed it. Guess not.
