<p>Remember that these overnights feature 400+ prospies, so you can't be very picky about hosts. I guess that works out to about 1/4 of students in housing hosting a prospie, and if you consider the fact that many rooms are doubles it really works out to be more than that (roommates often "share" a prospie since adding two people into a double room can get pretty crowded). They often need to beg people to host. Hosting can be fun, but it's also inconvenient in a number of ways. The hosts are told to give the prospie a place to sleep. It's nice to entertain them, but it's not part of the job description. It's the job of the prospie to go out and talk to people and have a good time. </p>
<p>Anyway, as I've said, I hated my overnight, and I'm very happy here as a student. There are certainly some people here who lack social skills, but there are also hundreds of incredibly cool people. (Some people even belong in both categories!)</p>
