I agree with her comment that the dresses monogrammed across the chest look cheap. But the comment about cotton in summer made no sense at all.
I'm not really a fan of all dresses matching (maybe memories of Serious Night long ago -- looking like bridesmaids all bedecked in matching Qiana).
I think I do like different dresses in the same colors -- or I like these anyway -- I guess easy to do in Lilly if your colors are pink and green:

I like what my chapter's doing for recruitment outfits this year-we're given a range of color options and told to pick a flattering and appropriate dress within that color palette. Obviously I can't go into exactly what colors we're wearing or else our formal recruitment chair would bite my head off but in general it's much easier for girls to individually find dresses that look good on them then for the whole chapter to order one style of dress that won't look good on everyone.
As for Lilly dresses, I love Lilly dresses in general but I don't think they're a good idea during recruitment. One chapter at Clemson wore Lilly during their philanthropy round and while the girls looked cute individually there was no cohesiveness as a group. It was also very difficult to tell who was a PNM and who was an active because they all looked so alike. A Lilly theme for Bid Day would look cute if the chapter and campus culture on the whole supported it.
