Wellesley College, one of the most prominent women's colleges in the country, doesn't have sororities, but it does have selective "societies" which have a great deal in common with the early literary societies that grew into sororities. I believe that one or more of them actually have Greek-letter names.
Wellesley has three Greek letter "societies." I believe one is a literary society, one is a lecture society, and one is an art & music society. I'm not sure if there are other societies without Greek letters or not. From what I've seen of the webpages, they function much like sororities. Their recruitment process is called "teaing."

Princeton and Yale are two more schools with non-recognition of their NPC sororities. I believe Princeton has Tri Delta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Pi Phi. Yale has Kappa, Pi Phi and Theta. However, I think the NPC headquarters of most sororities would be reluctant to establish any chapter on a campus without university consent unless the school was one with such undeniable national prestige as the Ivies or UChicago have.
