In Sorority Boys, KOK and DOG are based on the respective houses that the movie was filmed in at USC (Southern California), SAE and ADPi. If you know the Greek system here, it fits the stereotypes perfectly, though not the reality.

Actually, Harold Ramis, one of the writers of the movie, was a Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) at Washington University in St. Louis. The movie was based off of his experiences at school, as well as the other writer's (who went to Dartmouth). I don't know where the 'Chi' comes from in Delta Tau Chi....if you're right that the other fraternity was Delta Tau Delta.
