That's like saying you're not the true you if you change out of sweatpants to go to an interview. You want to make a good first impression, so you dress to fit the occasion. A formal gown may be more appropriate than a pantsuit to a certain event, but that doesn't mean you're not the same person on the inside. Knowing how to dress/behave in different situations is what's important, not having the best clothes, the right color hair, or being perfectly made up. Presentation is a factor in recruitment but, at least for my chapter, it's "do they know how to dress for a certain type of event, do they put effort into their appearance, did they just roll out of bed," not "I can see her tattoo so she's cut." OP, do what makes YOU feel most confident. If you keep the nose ring in and futz with it the whole time, it will be distracting, but if you wear it and forget to take it out because it's just normal to you, then we likely won't notice either. Just make sure you make yourself look presentable for what you wear, how you style your hair, personal hygiene, etc. And keep in mind Indiana is far less preppy and conservative in style than other state schools like Alabama, where having a facial piercing may be a bigger deal.
