I guess the rules imply modesty. But strapless dresses are worn all the time and successfully. There is tape that will secure a strapless dress as long as the dress is fitted correctly.
The last (unasked) question is: Do I need two dresses? The answer is: Yes, because you never know what can happen to a dress. Be it stains, too much "glow", or another girl showing up in the same dress...always have options. You probably have dresses in your closet already, but being prepared is really a good idea.

"Recruitment" implies modesty. PNMs aren't dressing to impress boys. They're dressing to impress girls. "Don't look slutty" is Rule of Thumb #1. Strapless with a cardigan would be perfectly fine and super cute, but I still would stay away from them.
I'm against strapless because things can go wrong. It has to be fitted right and you can tape, but ... why would anyone want to mess with the risk of a wardrobe malfunction? Most recruitments involve some walking from house to house and sometimes hurrying house to house. The chance is there to have a problem with a strapless dress riding down.
