Interesting question, but if they didn't register it as their trade or service mark, and Playboy did, the magazine wins.
This does bring up an important point that isn't always considered by college groups (and others, to be fair). The use of trademarks and the like of groups like Playboy, the Olympics and others is often not discovered -- but when it is, it can be big trouble for a chapter.
It's just another instance of remembering to obey the law.
As for hotels, the Delts here in Colorado use hotels for their formals regularly and I'm not aware of them having much trouble getting one.
