There are Delta collegiate chapters with 6 and fewer active members; and chapters for other NPHC GLOs with 6 and fewer active members. Whether that works and "is appropriate" is up to the NPHC GLO and school.
For NIC-type groups, there is a fixed cost for operating a chapter because national consultants have to be flown in annually or bi-annually, so there needs to be a minimum amount of membership to make that cost-effective for the general fraternity to be able to continue that as a service.

Also, just to be competitive for membership, single-digits won't cut it. In most, maybe all cases where a fraternity is that far down in the tiers, the best thing to do is to shut down and start over with a clean slate.
