TJMaxx, Target, and even Academy (or any store that sells sportswear..they usually have a section of "regular" clothing, too) are some easy and cheap options.
I challenge anyone to find a deep and meaningful way of choosing PNM's when meeting over a thousand of them, with a sorority chapter of 80-300 during formal recruitment. Just like large auditions or job fairs.
As the OP is going to an SEC recruitment it's prudent to think she will be in a large recruitment.
And, as I have said several times, it is not right, nor ideal, and every campus is different. However, it isn't helpful to use PNM's in an agenda to change the recruitment at a large SEC school. And the OP is rushing at a large SEC school with a competitive recruitment, so in this thread, it follows that advice would be tailored to that sort of recruitment. PNM's should be given advice based on what the status quo is, and the actives and alums should be initiating change if they wish to.

No one here's doing that. But it is ridiculous that we are picking out PNMs wardrobes for them as if they are the models on the store's websites.
But again, why do you care so much if this was just a silly experience for you?[/QUOTE]
Please read my posts fully.
Again. It is a great part of my life but it will never come before family, education, and career. That's a good thing for PNM's to remember. If they join an organization it will be an important and integral part of their college experience, and will (hopefully) remain an important part of their lives after college. But if they do not get a bid, or do not get a bid to their favorite house, it's all going to be ok.
