I think this is the best suggestion yet. It seems like so much of rush nowadays takes place out in the open - I mean, we got invites in our private mailboxes at our dorms. We had sorority members come to our individual rooms to offer us bids, rather than having to "run" to them in public or open your bid cards in a huge room with all the other rushees (both of which sound absolutely barbaric to me). It's not just seeing what you didn't get, it's seeing the girls who DID get what they wanted being crazy happy and excited.
Re the "maximize your options" - be blunt. Let her know that she is binding herself for a year if she writes them down (even as her third choice) and ends up matching to them, but ALSO let her know (if this applies to your school) that not putting all her groups down may mean she might not be Greek at all. After that, it's her decision.
