I think if this were to be allowed (for no other reason than the PNMs can't afford it - and they know that going into recruitment), then you'd be opening a can of worms that you really don't want to open. Let's say the chapter makes quota, but half the girls are being held over until the following semester - that's (potentially) 6 girls that you're not collecting dues from, but that are taking up spots (which other PNMs would be willing to take.. and pay for). And what happens when the other 6 girls who received bids find out about this? Do you think they'll want to pay up front?
These types of things are usually done only in special circumstances. For example, if a PNM's parent became ill, and they find themselves having to help out their family rather than put money toward dues.
I find it rather strange that numerous PNMs are asking such a question. Are they asking because your dues are too high... or because they're "trying to get away with something," for lack of a better term?

And this is a very good question. Two chapters (and quota at 6 last year) shouldn't = formal recruitment, in my opinion.
