Taking New Members After Reaching Total

[AZ-AlphaXi]

Here's the excerpt from the green book

B. Each NPC fraternity chapter has the right to COB to reach Quota or its
total allowable chapter size during the regular school year as defined by
the school calendar. To accommodate the colonization of a chapter or to
allow a chapter to build its membership, the College Panhellenic Council
may vote to suspend COB for a period not to exceed three weeks.

Pardon the slight hijack, but this brings up a question currently on my campus. Our (new) Greek adviser has told Panhellenic - and our Panhel delegate has reported to our exec board - that after formal recruitment, no one will be allowed to COB, even if they're not at total. I read the quote above to mean that this is not kosher.

There's no colonization happening, and we're a deferred recruitment school (FR is in two weeks).
