I always fell back on travel, because honestly, who doesn't travel at all and doesn't plan to? "Are you planning to study abroad?" or "if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?" are pretty tough to answer in one word and always worked for me.
If a sorority member asks a PNM "any questions?", she is not a gifted conversationalist and is looking for help. Ask about her favorite date party theme or if she has any funny stories about sisterhood. You can always ask "what is it like living in the house?" or "since there isn't a house, do sisters live together often?" Try to make the focus on community and sisterhood rather than philanthropy or recruitment, because you will probably both be sick of talking about this by the second or third party.
