Granted, and I agree that would be a great way to handle a chapter that needs help if the nationals can't (or won't) step in.
But in at least the F&M's chapter's situation, it was such a young chapter, they didn't have any kind of alum base around them to look to for help or wisdom. AND they kept hearing from nationals, "it's coming, it's coming", so the undergrads probably didn't assume it was their place to just come up with their own materials (nor would they have had any experience to do so).
