Banding together with other interns and petitioning the company to change their culture is crazy levels of naive. As an intern, you are most likely a net-negative. At best, consider yourself on a long term interview. It's not the time to ask that the company change its culture. If you happened to get picked up by the company and find yourself in a job, it's still not the time. It's not a democracy. The business was built to make money and it was determined long before you got there that the dress code would help them achieve that goal. Unless you can put some money where your dumb petition is, your best hope is some extreme eye rolling.
