I've really enjoyed reading this thread. It's interesting to see all the different ways people have dealt with this type of situation.
This is probably obvious to most of you, but I'm going to say it anyway. If a person who you don't want in your organization asks you for information about joining, please don't just ignore them. Tell them whatever you think is appropriate, but don't just blow them off like a bad blind date. As has often been said on this board, rush is a bit like a job interview. Most job hunters prefer a firm "yes" or "no" to being left hanging. I'd wager most rushees would too.
In my opinion, being rejected is far worse than being flat-out ignored.
