This IS nit picky!
I told my daughter to always be outgoing to the girls she attended the parties with. If an opportunity presented itself-lend a helping hand. (Example-If someone drops something, don't just stare at it, or if another PNM is having a difficult time show KINDNESS) In the end, you will have people who think of you fondly in several different houses.
If/when you return to a house the next day or so, you may not have the opportunity to talk to the same girls, but if it's PRACTICAL at least say "Hi" or give a little wave and aknowledge that YOU remember THEM! Don't go jumping over PNMs and don't be a cheese.
If you gel with everyone around you, it's much easier for the sisters to see how YOU might make a good "fit".
I also told her if she could AVOID being around PNMs who take control of each and every conversation/situation, to do so. Otherwise you may waste precious time as the other one monopolizes everything. Not good for her, but not good for you either. You can figure out who they are going to and from the houses if you are observant. Of course sometimes these situations can't be avoided so- "BE ON YOUR TOES", always be GRACIOUS and ENJOY the people around you.
The one question she was asked by EVERY HOUSE-What made you decide to go through recruitment! PLAN OUT YOUR RESPONSE. Don't ramble (like I do), but know it so well that you can rattle it off in a very NATURAL way. To do this, you must really KNOW, so think about it and find a way to answer that is more memorable than "I want world peace!"
OH another- You may not like it, but you are ALWAYS "on". There are eyes and ears all around you. Even sitting in the cafeteria-look good-be careful what you say-"Sit up straight and DON'T SLOUCH!"
Gotta add one more-Stay as far away as you possible can from someone who is extreme in any way shape or form. They ALL will remember "THAT GIRL", but it will be harder for them to remember you, the NORMAL one!!!
