Are you writing about actual NPC sororities, some other kind of sorority or fictional ones? The "new terminology" you're talking about is largely limited to the NPC, so using it for groups outside the NPC, whether real or fictional (unless in your story's universe, the NPC has more than 26 sororities, including the those in the story) doesn't necessarily result in authenticity.
If your groups are fictional, then you can use whatever you want to. And I agree that the average reader will be more familiar with terms like "rush" and "pledge."
