Undergraduate chapters of Theta Nu Xi range from two members to twelve members with the average being about seven members. We cap membership at thirty members per undergraduate chapter, though we haven't yet had a problem with any chapter exceeding the maximum.
Others have mentioned in this thread the importance of local and regional support. While our chapters are distinct, our national identity is more relevant. Even if you see only two members on a campus roster, there are twenty+ other people behind the scenes making the magic happen. There have been instances where everyone in a chapter graduates leaving no members, but intake is still held the next semester and the work continues without missing a beat.
For Theta Nu Xi, and others, the number of members isn't as important as the work output of the individuals. We'd rather have three members who are working hard than fifteen members who aren't doing much.
