Telling someone they are going to get a bid is not dirty rushing. In fact, it's a great tactic if the person loves the chapter. They won't bother looking elsewhere if they know they're getting a bid. IFC-unfriendly? Perhaps.
But, again, nothing is set in stone until the chapter votes and bids are handed out.
Dirty rushing would be telling someone, "Hey, all the other groups gave out their bids, so if you didn't receive one we're the only group you're getting a bid from, so you better accept otherwise you won't be in greek life. This bid is only good for right now."
Now, people from bigger schools might laugh and say there is no way that could happen. If IFC doesn't make its authority known and you have a useless greek advisor, this can happen. A group on my campus was notorious for doing this and ended up having people accept, only to get offered bids to other groups a day or two later. The rushees who signed the bid were then forced to stay with that group or drop out, since the other groups didn't want to deal with any baggage. Thankfully, our IFC improved greatly and now have a more active greek advisor.
It's hard to prove dirty rushing since you don't want to be 'that guy.' The person it happens to has to report it, otherwise it becomes hearsay between groups.
