You may be asked about it at the interview, but you want to avoid the lowly HR clerk who thinks "XYZ - a bunch of divas" or "I'm not forwarding an XYZ; they dropped me first round" and tosses the resume.
Does it happen often? No, but it does happen, and you don't want to give any reason for yours to be in the "no" stack.

The other side of that coin is that if you don't name it, people might think that you're ashamed of your chapter, or that you're bullshitting about the whole thing.
I'm sure there are also lowly HR clerks with grudges against student-athletes, or people from ABC University, or people from Erie, or people who were on student senate. Who would also throw those resumes out.
You can't go through life being frightened of being derailed by someone else's psychosis.
