I hope that I will be able to mix and mingle a bit, but for our chapter the floaters are only called out basically if something goes wrong unfortunately!!

So, you have the ability to make things right. You have the ability to meet a pnm who, for whatever reason, isn't clicking with your sister. You have the responsibility to help your chapter maintain and boost their reputation as a welcoming fun place. You may make more of a difference than you ever imagine.

How would you know this when you said this will be your first recruitment as a member? I am willing to bet the folks you heard this from likely have never worked on a committee that handles things behind the scenes during recruitment or are not/have not been responsible for making the choices of who is a floater and who is a hostess.

Floaters are just as important as the hostesses. I wouldnt look at it as a bad thing at all. I myself was a permanent floater as an active and I've since become the recruitment advisor and advisory board chair. I personally rather enjoyed being a floater because I found it less stressful and as someone else said, I was able to meet more PNMs and know better what was going on during the parties.
