Given that I applied VERY late to Temple, February 22nd, do you guys think it is worth the effort making the trip from Chicago and interviewing for an "alternate list." And for those who knows, what are the chances that one could move up from alternate list to A List.

Depends if you have been accepted to other schools or not and if so, do you think Temple is the right school for you?
If you haven't been accepted to any schools, you should definitely go to the interview. What is the point of applying (especially this late in the cycle) if you are not even intending of going to the interviews (no matter what they are for). Normally when you apply this late you are more likely to be given an interview for the alternate list. Chances are, Temple thinks you are a good candidate, or else why would they have given you an interview so quickly?
If you have been accepted to other schools, then you must carefully consider the benefits of what Temple has to offer. If you think Temple is compatible to your needs or if you are not sure, then you should definitely go to the interview and hopefully it will help you narrow down your decision!
