Hey, I actually love recruitment conversation so hopefully this helps. I found that the best way to go about it is ask one "boring" open-ended question and then use that to spring to something else. For example, come in with a question in mind ("What's your major?") and then prepare different "tangents", so to speak, depending on whether her answer is a major identical to yours and if it is completely different.

Think of those questions as conversation starters...she's been getting questions like that all during recruitment, and what will make you (and ultimately your house) stand out is if you can skillfully take that initial question into a conversation about similar interests or experiences. Focus more on asking the question to get to a conversation rather than just listening to her answer and moving on.
