A few reasons.
First, I'm not going to chase down the 'elsewhere.' I don't care that much.
Second, I'd
rather ignore it and drive on with the question at hand. Maybe they made mistakes in the past. That doesn't negate their right to legitimate answers now.
And third... I take it from the other posts this person was interested in traditional rush and ended up opting for this co-ed thing. I don't know this person. I don't know what actually happened in the real world. Maybe they did try and got cut, maybe it just wasn't for them. Maybe a hundred other things. I don't know, and honestly it doesn't matter. Telling them 'I told you so' doesn't help anyone.
I don't really care what their problems are. I'm quite sure I've seen worse resuscitated - I'm in that process with my Dad's chapter now. The fact remains, any type of group under 20 folks and not otherwise functioning at a high level is in failure mode. Fixing tactical problems at that point is like straightening pictures on the titanic. The only choice is the advice I gave.
Are they going to get on track and to 20 folks by the end of the semester? I don't know. They need a goal, and that's a survival standard. If they don't then they're either done or buying time till they are. This is a doable goal and someone acting like they're passionate about it. I'm not going to tell them to give up and walk away. I just can't be a cynic like that.
