Of course this is not the ideal situation but if there is one active person, then that 1 active person will do what he/she can to keep the chapter going and of course bring in new members, with the support and guidance of their advisor and advising alumnae chapter. It's not ideal but it is not unheard of. However, some schools are now requiring a certain number of active members on campus in order for a chapter to be active and recognized by the school.
And by the way, many NPHC chapters function quite well with 5-10 members. There are pros and cons to both small and large chapters.

Thank you for the info. I only used the word "line" because the OP did.
I can't imagine what a feat it would be to be the only member, and then revive the chapter. It is impressive, to say the least. I know that there are chapters of all types of orgs that sustain on 5-10 members, but logistically, I couldn't wrap my head around *1* "active member"/sister.
Thank you for sharing how things work in your organization and governing body.
