I could care less. What all PNMs should take away from this inane conversation between the two of us is that they need to research their campus culture and dress appropriately for their preference night. Apparently at UT that means a black dress but at the majority of other schools that I have personal experience with, black dresses tend to be a staple of the chapter that is hosting the preference night event and is better avoided so that the PNM stands out from the chapter membership. That is all that I am saying. If you want to take this further, please feel free to PM me to keep this petty argument off the board. Thanks!

I am in no way defensive. The only person I am defending is the UT PNM to whom you gave very bad advice. This reply of yours was a
direct response to her question about UT attire:

It also came off as very condescending, just as your comments to me have. Saying I must be having a bad day (I'm not), telling me to calm down (in your view, factually correcting your erroneous advice apparently makes one a raging lunatic), and referring to my posts as inane and petty then ordering me to PM you rather than post are hardly responses that speak for your maturity. Perhaps you are projecting. I dunno. All I can say is I truly hope someone your age does not address the collegians you advise in the same manner.
Unicorn, gee_ess gave you the perfect answer to this one.
