Radley College socials

Hello, we are in the process of choosing our short list of Socials at Radley College. Does anybody have any advice on how to choose one please? We've already met 5 housemasters in 5 different Socials. So far, I've discounted three, just based on gut feeling. We will be seeing more in the next few months.
I just wondered whether anybody has any experience with any of the current housemasters or Socials, or what to look out for. We are after a friendly, warm atmosphere with boys from mixed backgrounds.
Is it ok to ask to meet the house matron as well? So far, I have only met one, but I guess they also contribute to the atmosphere of the House?
Thanks in advance for your help!
