The current members who spoke to her at each party were not assigned so no notes were used from her recs and all the conversations were very generic. Each party they came in and just went with the next active member that was standing at the door. Maybe recs will play a bigger role at the next round.
Sometimes you just get matched up with someone who isn't good at basic conversation with people they don't know.

Also, sometimes the chapter matches sisters with PNMs but something happens when everyone is coming in and they get thrown out of order. Or they are running behind and can't get everyone linded up.

So many people come here and are SO SURE that their recruitment is DOOMED because they don't have as many invites as the other PNMs. I know that's hard. But whether you get 15, 7, or 2 invites, in the end, you can only get ONE BID.
This is very true. And there is an up-side to only having a few parties. You have more time to rest, unpack, grocery shop, watch TV, whatever.
