Well, there's consolation, directing the girls to the physical meeting location (houses) and explaining the process/rules. There shouldn't ever be a time when a rush counselor says anything about a specific chapter. "you'd like XYZ. They're like you because..." would be a huge no no. A rush counselor should help a rushee make decisions by drawing out of her what she liked and didn't like about specific chapters, not doing the pointing out herself. "How did you feel about XYZ?" "What made you feel that XYZ is better than DEF? Could it be a specific girl you were talking to and not the chapter as a whole?" Those statements could be said by ANYONE and are the kind of open ended questions a rush counselor should say to draw out the feelings of the rushee. And if the rushee knows for sure that the rush counselor is not a DEF, she's going to feel a lot more comfortable being honest about her feelings, and thus getting to the truth quicker.
NPHC women are joiners, leaders, enthusiastic, and smart. There is no reason to think they couldn't handle this and I see very little down side. I think this is also true of non-affiliated alumnae, and grad students in psychology for that matter. The grad students would just have a larger learning curve but presumably they'd also end up in the same place.
