Further, I doubt a PNM wearing a colored dress to a pref party would be a valid reason for them to not receive a bid ... but then again, I'm not a UT person.

You may be having a bad day, but I certainly am not. So I guess you must be using the royal we to describe yourself.
This PNM was asking about Pref attire for a specific school. You have no experience with that school and gave her poor advice. As someone who is intimately familiar with recruitment at UT, it was my obligation to point out that your advice was not only irrelevant, but could do damage to someone's recruitment results. Yes, something like this can affect a PNM's recruitment results at a place like Texas.
Also, the Pahel web site mentions that Pref attire is cocktail dresses and specifically says they are "usually black." When a school with a recruitment like ours use a term like "usually" you can bet it means "should be."
