Again, as I say, I find that strange. But I don't know how social/general GLOs operate.
In my org, we may set goals that we'd like to see chapters increase membership (and we recognize those to do met such goals), we would never shut down a chapter for this. Even if we have only 1 student member, we try to keep the chapter 'going' and help recruite new members. Why go thru the work of re-establishing a chapter when its easier to save a chapter?
We only shutdown chapters if they violate the rules (hazing, etc.). Not for failing to meet membership goals.
And as an aside. One thing you learn about goal setting, is that goals must be 'Attaintable'. Can the person/group, with the resources available to them, be able to attain that goal? Having some outside group (whether its HQ or the school) mandate a goal without understanding what is realistic, is just setting up that person/group for failure.
Doubling membership is hard, regardless of the size of a group. Tripling it even more so.
