Trying to think of questions to ask a PNM can be tricky, especially when you have already asked them “Where are you from?” or “What is your major?” As someone who was once a PNM and a sorority member having to go through recruitment, these are the best questions to ask any PNM.
(A picture of my bid night buddy and I above.)
Even if this is your third year going through recruitment it still gets nerve-racking and we are all scared of not having any questions to ask the PNM. However, just remember we want to find the new members that we call sisters. AND the PNM to find their family.
