I don't see anything wrong with this process. This is a membership drive. Ostensibly, if you meet a guy who you think would be a great addition, you'd encourage him to come out to rush and to bring his friends. His friends are likely to be as great as he is. Or there may be some duds.

I wouldn't call it feigning interest or stringing anyone along. They're trying to find the best possible members for their organization. A larger applicant pool makes this possible. The more guys who come out, the more who hear about it. This brings more people out, and more potentially strong additions.

Are you one of those people who gets mad if you don't get a job offer after the 3rd interview because they were just stringing you along and wasting your time? Because that was their ulterior motive. Wasting your time. They had nothing better to do because they picked their candidate out already. Yessiree. Just waste your time and avoid all of the work piling up around them just so they could inconvenience you.
