It's conceivable he could pull things off, but he's going to need either more organizational support or some sort of something to be able to retain membership once it's been recruited. Rush is only part of the picture. Without some means to retain members, you're just spinning your wheels.
How many did you start with? My gut feeling is that you need to start with at least five. I have seen five guys do it. Three is not five.
