Best Answer
I've often wonder about that, myself. Organizations like the Free Masons, Priory of Sion, and other secret societies. I would imagine that people of some celebrity were more easily welcomed into the clubs because their views on certain subjects were more widely known. If it were something that were favorable to the society, then they could ask that person to join. Also, I would imagine that people who were already members play a big part in selecting people that they know in their personal lives who would be a good fit. You have to wonder, though, how they manage to keep their secrets with so many members.

Answer 1
They probably had to show some interest or knowledge about the subjects that the Priory dealt with. And I believe new members were tapped by current members, probably based on what they had seen or heard of the person.

Answer 5
The members of the Priory of Sion were sworn to protect the descendents of Jesus, also known as the bloodline of the Grail. The Priory of Sion were indifferent to the Church, nether for nor against. Dan Brown's book was only the latest in a long line of books about The Priory of Sion and its historical function.
