Yes, greek life may not be in the cards for everyone, but it seems particularly cruel and "in your face" to make them find out publically when everyone else is celebrating and there is no one there to help you navigate those first very difficult moments. It is never easy to find out that something you want isn't in the cards, but some privacy and your rho gamma's undivided attention can go a long way.
Yes that would be nice! I know also a lot of girls who did get bids felt bad celebrating because their friends and neighbors didn't so it also takes away from their excitement. Some rho gammas have personally let girls know beforehand if they didn't get a bid (although im not sure their allowed to do that) so that they know not to expect anything.

Also thanks for everyones continued support!
