I like that idea, but you'd have to make sure to rescue a sister if the hostess for a PNM doesn't hit it off well with her PNM because she and her PNM could screw it up for everyone who brings their PNMs over to visit.
Our parties were always based on tables except at open house where you couldn't fit tables in the dorm. Each table fit four chairs so their were four groups. Each group would move to the same spot at the next table to find the sister to bump (ie, square tables all facing the same way. Bump group A would seat all of their PNMs in the chair facing forward. ) The floater would place a hand on the shoulder of the sister in the first chair. That sister would naturally interrupt her conversation when she could, introduce the floater, include her in the conversation for a short period, then excuse herself. She would then walk counterclockwise to the next table to the chair facing forward. She would place her hand on the shoulder of the sister speaking with the PNM in the chair, and the process would repeat itself. It was timed so that we would bump twice, but you could definitely push floaters through more frequently.
If we had a problem talking to a PNM, we would hold our hands behind our backs. My bio sister did this once and was completely ignored. No one else wanted to talk to the PNM either. She was well known on campus since she was a sophomore. My sister talked to her the whole time and was PISSED when the party was over!
