Just from what I have seen, it seems that some Panhel organizations are more likely to just pull a charter when a chapter runs onto hard times while others are more likely to send in the "big guns" to get things rolling again.
I know I've mentioned this before, but three orgs who seem to do the latter (at least as far as I have seen) are Sigma Sigma Sigma, Tri-Delta and Theta. In the past 10 years or so (not all at the same time), all three organizations at my school were dangerously low in numbers and on the verge of folding. Instead of letting that happen, their nationals either recolonized or sent officers in to help with recruitment.
I personally think that each chapter of a sorority is important and Nationals should always do anything they can to help out. If a chapter is in danger (and I am talking about things like numbers, not hazing and things like that), every effort should be made to save it. Afterall, they are sisters just as much as the members of a 200+ chapter are.
