He won't if they don't know about it.
Again ours is more structured and less reliant on these parties, but I attended quite a few across the state and to my knowledge wasn't looked poorly upon.

On the other hand, let's say Ralph the Rushee has attended a few parties to only one fraternity and is offered an early bid. Is he expected to accept that bid without having met any of the other fraternities? Or is it anticipated that Ralph with want to meet some of the other groups before he commits?

I don't think he's expected to accept it, but he might not want to be in that position until he's met all of them.

Even though he has not yet officially graduated from high school, my son has already received a couple of invitations to parties. He would like to attend ALL of them, but we are out of state, so getting to everything may not be possible. I am trying to get some idea of how much is too much vs. too little with respect to summer parties & fraternities’ expectations.

Yeah, I understand.
I would suggest that he attempts to attend as many as financially and time possible.
What I was going to post (before the tornado sirens rudely interrupted) is that we try to put on a few parties in big cities where we do well in. We'll have one in Memphis, Little Rock, and Dallas some years as well as Hot Springs or Fayetteville.
There should be opportunities for him to get to know plenty of 'em.
