Well, I think that's probably why she's asking -- I still think it would be something that would make her be memorable. I guess the real question is whether she would be memorable in a good way or not. I mean, if as a freshman someone asked me what I had done the previous summer, and I'd done something as interesting as attend bartending school and get my license, I might want to bring it up (instead of saying, "I entered codes into a database," which is what I actually did. Yes, all summer).

If you did actually bartend, you could possibly spin it, saying "And it was a really eye opening experience, learning how to deal with boorish customers, and what people REALLY look like when they get drunk!" Or something. Although that could lean a little too far into talking about alcohol, it might help give the impression that it was a JOB, and that you're not bartending to get free drinks and flirt with guys.

If you did something more interesting over the summer/have better activities, I would agree with KSUViolet and not bring it up. And maybe not the first night of recruitment. I could see it being a turnoff for some girls, and some sororities, especially if you don't present it right. But I do honestly think it's kind of a cool thing to have done, and something many girls that age haven't done, but it could be risky. I would say use your discretion.
