Meeting students from GC during visits and other questions

I was just thinking, when someone is visiting some school, they usually post in the school specific thread and request current students (typically river for K, kry for Haas or Rhyme for Booth) whether they have time for a meetup. We usually have more than 1 student admitted to these schools every year. However, it seems like only a small minority are able to continue coming onto GC and helping other prospective students. Based on what I've noticed about this community so far, this probably happens not because the other current students are not interested in helping others, but probably because they are not able to find the time to come onto GC regularly to help others.
I was thinking it might make sense to sticky a thread with a listing of current students who can be PMed by prospectives. I'm not sure if I'll be coming onto GC regularly while in school. I'll certainly log on once in a while and help other students. But, in case of a PM, I'll get the message on my personal e-mail and will be able to respond in a timely manner. This would probably be extremely useful for prospectives who are visiting campuses. If they just PM 4-5 people, they'll probably be able to find someone who doesn't have a conflict at that time and will be able to meet/talk to them.
What do you guys think?
