Greeks In Sitcoms
Does anyone remember which fraternity and sorority the Happy Days gang joined? Somehow, I thought they were Beta Theta Pi and Delta Gamma.
Are there other sitcoms with fraternal members?

"Whose Face is This Anyway?" episode of Golden Girls:
Rose and Blanche have an extended discussion of their sororities. Blanche says she was an Alpha Gam. Rose says she was an "Alpha Yam."
Incidentally, in real life the actress Eddi-Rue McClanahan who plays Blanche was a Kappa Alpha Theta.

Hayden Fox (played by Craig T Nelson) of "Coach" is a Beta Theta Pi. One episode shows his pledge paddle on the wall.

Do I remember once seeing a Sigma Delta Tau sorority paddle on that show's wall, too?

That storyline in The Facts of Life is where I first became interested in sororities!

On “Ozzie and Harriet”, Ricky’s older brother David was in a fraternity in real life, and they mentioned it on the show. I’m thinking maybe Kappa Sigma?

You got it!
I guess many of the details of the show mirrored the real-life experiences of the actors.

I think Rachel on Friends was a "Kappa Kappa Delta". I don't think they ever mentioned if Monica was in a sorority.
