TJMaxx, Target, and even Academy (or any store that sells sportswear..they usually have a section of "regular" clothing, too) are some easy and cheap options.
I challenge anyone to find a deep and meaningful way of choosing PNM's when meeting over a thousand of them, with a sorority chapter of 80-300 during formal recruitment. Just like large auditions or job fairs.
As the OP is going to an SEC recruitment it's prudent to think she will be in a large recruitment.
And, as I have said several times, it is not right, nor ideal, and every campus is different. However, it isn't helpful to use PNM's in an agenda to change the recruitment at a large SEC school. And the OP is rushing at a large SEC school with a competitive recruitment, so in this thread, it follows that advice would be tailored to that sort of recruitment. PNM's should be given advice based on what the status quo is, and the actives and alums should be initiating change if they wish to.
Lastly, I have never come close to saying it is a "useless organization". As I said, clearly, I did and have gotten a lot out of being a member to my organization. However I do not believe that the sorority I belong to should be as important in my life as my family, my education, and my career. Period. It is something I enjoy and I will remain an active alum, but it will always come after my family, education, and career. Hence "it's only a sorority".

either it means something to you or it doesn't. but the way you're speaking of it isn't putting it fourth to your family, education or career, it's as if it was a silly thing you did in college.
