I know the culture at my school is probably VASTLY different than at Syracuse (it is the south after all), but members of my chapter and several others that I know of are not allowed to have any "non-natural color" highlights in their hair during formal recruitment. That doesn't mean they don't have them at other times during the year but they know that for recruitment they have to grow it out, cut it off, re-dye it, etc. It's a presentation thing, not stifling of self-expression or limiting individuality - PNMs will cut based on some pretty ridiculous things and we don't want the streak of lime green in the girl she was matched with's hair to be why.

I agree with everyone else who said to look at the prevailing culture of sorority women at the school. Look at chapter websites, do a little facebook stalking, see what you can figure out and then make the decision.
