It's important during an interview to not keep referencing your chapter, but keeping it general. Saying "in my experience, this has been the case..." instead of "when i was advising zeta, this is what I did...." Makes a big difference.
I'm sure you're right in that it's how you present yourself on paper and in person, but would it be an immediate red flag if you were reading a resume and thought, wow, she's a Zeta from THIS SCHOOL, albeit, she graduated several years ago and most likely doesn't know any of the current collegiates...
