It's like when people suggest that girls join other groups on GC when girls go bidless. It doesn't help because it's not what they want. She wants bigs/littles, date parties, block seating at football games, formal, etc.
I think a professional counselor being available is a good idea though because they are a trained professional.

I think we're really talking about two different things. You're talking about girls upset enough to need professional counselors. I'm, and I think DeltaBetaBaby too, talking about girls who might be bummed out that it didn't work out like they'd hoped who might benefit from a reminder that there are other aspects to college than Greek Life. I agree that it doesn't 100% make up for the disappointment, but it's still be nice to offer it, particularly with people especially invited for the purpose. I'm kind of thinking similar in general outlook to the folks who do summer orientation.
