I don't fit the criteria for this thread so I'll just address this part based on my experiences and those of some of the NPHCers I know:

Some of us are from NPHC chapters with 8 (or less--some chapters have had to "run the yard" with 2 people until they could bring in new members) members and with only 1 (or 2) other NPHC organizations at a PWI.
We were extremely active on campus and in the community. It simply took more time and effort on our part to do tons of programs a semester, and be visible so people could see our dedication, than it would a chapter with 30+ members that could have a division of labor.
My activity as an undergrad is a big reason why I've been active as an alumnae member, years after graduating. The size of the chapter doesn't matter. What the chapter does is what matters so I hope people don't use size of the chapter (or size of the organization) as an excuse.
