Part of what Rho Chis do is simply administrative. If you have a group of women who need to go to different parties all over a campus they barely know, it's helpful to have a guide physically show you where they are. And then when it's time to bid, they explain how it works, for example. If you present all the info up front, some of it will be lost before the end of the process.
They also take some work off the Greek Life Office/Panhel's hands. Issuing invitations, talking to girls who are being cut, and telling girls they didn't get bids is very time-consuming.
The rest of the duties evolved out of that. There's no reason a Rho Chi has to take you all out to dinner. But if a Rho Chi is there, it's inevitable that sooner or later someone is going to ask her a question or look for moral support.
