Julia Duffy is not a Kappa, but her character Stephanie mentioned being a Kappa.

Don't know how to double quote from 2 different posters, so I just copied this:

In Designing Women, the Julia character several times mentioned being a Tri Delt, which she was in real life. The Suzanne character, Delta Burke, was supposed to be a Pi Phi from a school in Mississippi. In reality, she was not Greek.

Suzanne was supposedly a Pi Phi from Ole Miss.

In an episode of Hope & Faith a couple of seasons ago, Charley said something about a Sigma Chi doing one thing or another (don't remember what). In real life, the actor who plays Charley, Ted McGinley, is a Sig alumnus.

I somehow recall an episode of Desparate Housewives where Tom mentioned an NIC fraternity.

A Different World had a fictional fraternity but used to show extras wearing NPHC jerseys, sweatshirts, etc.

Fred Savage (Kevin Arnold in The Wonder Years) was a Stanford '99 SAE. He was in another series in which his character was also an SAE and had a crest or paddle in his apt.

Yeah, Tom was an ATO and his and Lynette's boss was a Pi Kapp. Or maybe it was the other way around. But, like someone else mentioned, they didn't use the full names of the fraternities so it could always be claimed that they didn't mean "Alpha Tau Omega" if any copyright infringement issues ever came to a head.
