i am guessing that all pnm's
will have on nametags. when you meet the woman you will be escorting for that event, repeat her name by using it in a sentence. for instance, say,"hi, jocelyn(pnm), i'm lisa. welcome to zeta tau alpha." then as you talk, use her name several more times. does anyone remember that rule of thumb about remembering a new person's name? isn't it repeat the name three times(appropriately) in succession. and if your mind goes blank, you can always sneak a peak at her nametag. don't be surprised if a sister comes up to meet your guest and you draw a complete blank and can't remember your sisters name! again, check out her nametag.
i was always told that everyone's favorite topic is themselves, so if you can get your guest talking about themselves, the conversation might flow. just remember that it is your job to keep the conversation going , to get to know the pnm and to let her know about your organization. foremost, you want each pnm to have a good experience and to think that your chapter is full of nice women. best of luck. lisa
