The active members also take notes between parties so they will remember who they talked to, what they talked about and their overall impression of the PNM. Depending on the campus, the PNMs might be assigned to a certain active for reasons FSUZeta spoke about.
On large competitive campuses, many sororities do PNM Review sessions during their Recruitment workshops. This allows the active members to get generally acquainted with the PNMs "resume" from the Panhellenic application and/or recommendations received by alums.
Panhellenic also supplies a list of all the PNMs that will be in attendance for each party. We create reminder cards of the PNMs including their picture and highlights of their resume to be handed out prior to each party. This gives the active a quick refresher on the PNMs activities and interests before she meets the PNM at the door.
All in all, no it's not easy to remember every single person, either PNM or active, but it is possible. It's a memory skill that needs to be developed. It's a skill that can help anyone later in life in the real world too. (Unfortunately I never completely mastered it and am still horrible with names. But faces I can remember practically forever. I think participating in Recruitment on both sides contributed to this.)
