My honest take on it is that, as a member of a sorority (and many other organizations), you may have to act on official "business", where business attire (and hair) is expected.
I know that there is a contingency of people who like to color their hair in non-traditional colors, have lots of visible tatoos, etc., especially in the artsy majors. A lot of times, people will say, "oh he's an art major" or whatever.
The truth is that most people judge you on your initial appearance. Whether it's hair color, mismatched clothes, holes in your socks, or dirt under your nails - people expect a certain amount of professionalism (not necessarily conformity). If you can get away with purple hair and still carry yourself professionally, then go for it.
But I am one person and I am in my mid 30s. You see things quite differently at my age than you do when you are 18.
