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.

Craig T. Nelson is not a Beta.

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.
