Debbie Downer post alert:
There seems to be A WHOLE lot more discussion of very specific clothing advice this year. (ex: wear THIS top instead of the top you chose).
In previous years, we seemed to get more general "what to wear" questions like "skirt or shorts for philanthropy day?"
Clothing is important, but I just hope that all the PNMs who are focusing on their recruitment wardrobe are also making sure they're prepared in other areas as well.
I"ve seen "what to wear" threads from PNMs at SEC schools who admittedly have no recs.
Again, not saying that clothes are unimportant, but if you don't have recs, and you have not prepared yourself in other ways (resume, conversation skills), you might not end up havng anywhere to wear your super awesome Lily dress you picked out.

I couldn't agree with you more. At the end of the day if you have spent $500 on your recruitment outfit, but you are a stick in the mud or haven't done your homework; your clothing choices wont give you a free ride. On the other hand, I have seen first hand a gal going through recruitment not making good choices on clothing right out of the shoot and being release from the majority of Chapters on campus. We do dress checks for our active members looking for boobs, butts and items that don't look right. I don't think there is any thing wrong with showing a PNM a more suitable option AND you don't have to spend a bunch of money. Again, I just think clothing is part of the PNM's homework along with the things you stated above.
