I'm pretty sure every organization and its corresponding council or conference has regulations and consequences for "dirty" rushing/recruitment/membership intake.
There are different guidelines and perhaps more leniency for NIC as compared to NPC, but I'm sure some regulations and consequences exist. Our organizations didn't become as old and prevalent as they are without regulations against improperly interacting with aspirants and improperly bringing in new members, including but not limited to promising membership and hazing.
In fact, for some organizations, promising someone membership before they have gone through the membership process can be considered hazing or improper member conduct if something happens that prevents the person from becoming a member. Or, the person becomes a member and it is discovered that the person should not have become a member.
