Yes. Maybe I should have specified. 33 is a member of an NPC organization.

Yeah I'm a GC regular so I know that 33girl is a member of an NPC organization. I asked that to explicitly place this within the proper NIC-NPC context (well, the TKE context is far more important than the NIC-NPC context) to remove the implication that a 4-member chapter is problematic, in general.

Yep...or at least NPC. My chapter was shut down for low numbers with 30 members. Not to say a chapter couldn't stay open with 30 members if that's at or close to total. Our total was around 80, but probably should have been lowered as evidenced by two chapters closing for numbers less than a decade apart and two of the 5 remaining chapters still struggling. I'm still relatively convinced it was a housing issue for us, since our house held 30 + housemother suite and we couldn't even get half the chapter to live in.
