Explaining SAD thoroughly to each member you speak with won't really give them a chance to get to know you in 10 minutes, you'll just be "the PNM who has SAD".

This the point I was trying to make, but you said it better.

Recruitment is about members getting to know YOU. The rounds are not very long and they have to try to do so in a short time period. If you tell the members that you have SAD, then the girls will most likely either want to talk more about your disorder OR awkwardly pause because they have no clue what to follow that up with. In either of these scenarios, the members have learned nothing about you other than the fact that you have SAD. I'm sure you want to be remembered for something other than that because you are probably so much more than just someone with SAD.
