Somebody who has more knowledge than I have let me know if I'm wrong, but as far as I know a sorority can't STOP someone from using the name in a book or TV show -- they can only sue if they feel the name has been used improperly. The reason why lots of writers make up GLO names instead of using real ones isn't because they couldn't get permission, it's because they don't want to get sued.
Back to the subject: there's also the episode of Sex and the City where Charlotte talks about how she was a Kappa.
In the book version of "Legally Blonde," Elle is a DG, and Theta and Kappa are also mentioned (I think Brooke is a Kappa and the killer is a Theta, although it could be the other way around -- I haven't actually read the book).
