I have no first hand experience with USM but it sounds like they are attempting to move into the "no frills " arena. I wouldn't be afraid to step it up and make a best faith effort to get recs for all of the sororities. As far as the wardrobe goes, wear what they suggest or step it up a half-notch if it will make you feel more comfortable. What your campus recommends was established to level the playing field for all PNMs and chapters but I don't personally see anything wrong with dressing to impress so long as it does not make you stand out in a negative way.
