Also, another tip for conversation, especially when bumping...
When an active (1) and pnm have been talking, and another active(2) steps up to join them, coach the Active 1 on the art of transferring the converstation to Active 2. This way Active 2 doesn't have to start over from scratch and risk asking the PNM something she had been asked by Active 1.

For example:
Active 1 - "Hi, Active 2, PNM Patty and I were just talking about living in Jester Hall and the rickety elevator that always gets stuck! Didn't you live there when you were a freshman?"
Active 2 - "Oh my gosh, yes, are you living there this year? That elevator was always giving us fits last year. Does Mrs Jenkins still run the front desk?..."

The conversation has been successfully transferred to Active 2 and Active 1 can leave after a few seconds knowing that Active 2 and Pnm are talking with ease.

i printed both of these quotes out to use when i help with an upcoming recruitment workshop. they are succinct and i know that these tips will really help those first time recruiters.
