I can see James' point, which was pretty well-made, I have to say. (I'm still giggling.) But I can also see the other side...if I hadn't gotten a bid, I would have been crushed, and I would have wanted people telling me, "Oh, you seem so nice, it's their loss" and yada yada, even though I probably would know that it was all fluff.
However, yeah, we really shouldn't encourage people that we know deep down in our hearts--and come on, people, be honest, we've run across them--don't stand a good chance. If you don't feel comfortable telling them that maybe they should look at other activities besides Greek life, just don't say anything.
