This is just my opinion, and what I have seen on my campus, so take it with that in mind:
I see nothing wrong with wearing something you made, IF it's really really nice. A girl at my school during recruitment week had this amazingly gorgeous skirt, like nothing I had ever seen before. When asked where she got it, she said she had made it. No one thought less of her, in fact, everyone thought more of her because she was so creative and crafty. If a sorority just wants you because you wear designer...well, that certainly wouldn't be the sorority for me!
I like designer stuff as much as the next girl, but if you can make something that will have people gushing over it, do it, wear it, and love it! Not many people have that talent, so consider yourself lucky. As long as it looks good and is appropriate, it sounds fine.
Of course, again, I go to Lyon College. It's small and much less competitive, so take what I say with that in mind.
