The movie IS based on a true life story. "Shelby" in the movie, was actually a Phi Mu.

Her color's in the wedding are "blush" and "bashful," and as Shelby says in the movie "You know, Pink is my FAVORITE color"
In the movie, when Shelby's mom is pinning her corsage on her pink suit, upstairs in Shelby's room, you can see her (REAL--as in Susan's REAL badge--from what I understand) beautiful badge on her suit (on her left side--closest to the camera) right before her mom pins the corsage over it.
In the same scene, you can see Shelby's (again, supposedly Susan's REAL) composite on the cork board behind them, along with all sorts of Phi Mu memorabilia.
Just to clarify (some of us Phi Mu's are REAL proud of it! hehe)
