That said, why risk offending part of your potential audience? I'd steer clear of real sorority names.

I use the NAACP, several colleges, APO, Alpha, AKA, Kappa, and Lambda Pi Chi fictitiously in my novels. Like the disclaimer says, I used them fictitiously to give the novel a sense of realism.
The main fraternity in my novel was fictitious though. As well as the main two colleges.
Aww, writing.
