When you aren't "the best girl"

What she said.

Rehearse something for the "pregnant pauses". Often an active will get cold feet too and ask, "do you have any questions"? Ok, so that is something we train our girls not to say, but it happens. Ask about the philanthropy, why they selected the chapter, etc. If you really want to figure out with whom in the chapter you can better connect, ask if there is anyone from your hometown in the chapter or in your major.

If I may, why are they called "pregnant pauses"? I mean, I have heard about awkward pauses, but.. pregnant?

But yes, I will remember to bring something interesting to ask or talk about to the table. Thank you. :]

Specific anecdotes are good. So, if someone says "what did you do over the summer?", instead of "went on vacation with my family" you could be like "my family went to new york to see some shows and visit museums. I really loved The Book of Mormon, and the art at the Met really impressed me".

Now to actually do something that cool. Good example though, thank you.
