I do, however, think that when we are answering a person's question, we should be helpful. Saying, "forget it, it will never happen" in post after post is not helpful. Even if something is difficult doesn't mean you shouldn't try and doesn't mean that we can't give her the best advice we have. Especially since the OP never asked us to weigh in on whether starting a chapter was a good idea, she just asked us to give her our best advice and to tell her our experiences, if we have any, with this situation. Is our best advice really don't try it's too hard?

Where did anyone say either of these things?

We are just pointing out what technically needs to happen before an expansion may take place, and that even if your school does choose to expand, everyone in said colony is not going to be your BFF.

I really don't think that's harsh. I'd rather people be realistic (and make sure that people know what it entails) rather than saying "oh yeah, go for it! It's easy and it works out perfectly allllll the time!" That's just not the case.

Also, if you think that's harsh, you should probably hang back and lurk more.
