Recruitment is a situation with a specific sort of dress code, and it makes you look socially unaware to deviate from it. That said, I highly doubt, that should she receive a bid, that her sisters would be shocked and disgusted that she has a tattoo. I'd be willing to bet that she would not be the first sorority woman to have a tattoo, even at a school as conservative as Bama.
For example, during recruitment, no PNM or active would wear sweats. But of course, almost everyone wears sweats at some point, for some occasion, be it sleeping, lounging around the house, to class, tailgaiting, outdoor activities, exercising, etc. Just because sweats aren't appropriate at recruitment doesn't mean they're never appropriate or that people who wear sweats are sloppy. I think the same can be said about tattoos, it's ok to have one, just don't show it at recruitment (or job interviews and other professional situations).
OP, depending on the size and exact location of your tattoo, you can experiment with different sandals and footwear to cover it. A slide with two medium-thick bands or one thick band might work, or a closed-toe mule with a high vamp. Plus, you could cover the tattoo with a band-aid and wear whatever you want and no one will ask questions.
