I saw this movie today with the niece. It was cute (my niece loved it). I was kind of surprised how the names of the "made up for the movie" sororities were not that far off from the names of actual NPC groups.
There was the "Gamma Phis", who were Gamma Phi Alpha (NPC=Gamma Phi Beta).
There was also Pi Beta Omega (I think it was "Omega", but it was Pi Beta something for certain), which is not far off from the NPC sorority, Pi Beta Phi. I had to smile when Tyler Prince said that "Gamma Phis" were very perky, b/c the Gamma Phi's were a very upbeat chapter at my alma mater at the time.
They also showed a house that had Delta Delta Zeta on it (which is close to either Tri Delta or Delta Zeta...you can choose!!). And the Kappa Phi Nus (which Sydney joins) are referred to as the "Legally Blondes", b/c they're all blonde except for Sydney.
Kappa Phi Nu house looked similar to the sorority house that was in that bizarre "Pumpkin" movie that I saw a while back.
I thought the pledge pins with the ribbons were cute and a somewhat realistic touch to the movie.
eta: In the beginning of the movie, Sydney's Dad and workcrew give her a "You're going away to college!" farewell card and it's signed by all of them. However, I SWEAR to you that it said "
Your going away to college!".
Oy...I guess the production crew didn't know how to spell.
