My academic honor society sent out "unsolicited letters" to qualified students via a list we requested from the student services department. I'm sure some of those students must have wondered "how did they get my name?"

This is a HECK of a lot different than an invite to join an honor society, that is a registered student organization and that the school gives them the info. This is like someone looking you up in the phone book or knocking on your door and asking you to join. It's apples and oranges.
With all the concerns about security, this is something that the school should REALLY keep an eye on - it could come back on them if they haven't done anything about it and this random org has somehow contacted students (especially if it is through means like school e-mail). If this group wants to start a new chapter, they should rent a room on campus or close to campus and ask the student affairs office to advertise the meetings.
It would be one thing if a member of this group had a bio sister at your school, she told two friends and so on and so on, but to just cold call people who haven't shown any interest in this group is quite another matter.
