I don't know how to get invited to summer events for us. Ours are not that important but I would bet that 60-75% of our pledges come to one of our three rush events in either Dallas, Little Rock or Memphis. But they all come through high school friends who hear of it/we invite.
Depending on who the alum is, he could certainly ask on behalf of the rushee if the rushee could be invited or so on.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
