Yeah, rushees will get hurt, but I think there are some kind of hurts we can prevent. Let's imagine you are a pretty undesirable rushee. Your grades are a 2.4, so you'll probably get cut for those. No activities. You redefine the word ugly, your clothes are hideous, you have no sense of humor, and you always talk too loud. Plus, you've got this BO problem.
So, right, you might feel like you don't belong at a rush party. You might be disappointed when you get cut. Those kind of hurts the chapter can't do much about (except by not cutting you).
BUT - the chapter still owes it to you to a) talk to you politely b) not make comments or make it obvious how they feel about you c) show you the same consideration during the party they would to any other rushee.
I actually knew a woman a lot like that who came to several pre-rush functions. She had a best friend who was a great woman and very desirable, and only she ended up rushing. But you can bet that when it came time for her to choose a house, she remembered with special consideration those that were kind to her friend!
