In the series, the real-life Pi Kappa Phi house was digitally altered to represent the fictional Omega Omega Alpha fraternity.
Despite the on-screen change, the actual chapter is recognized for its strong focus on academics, leadership, and community service.

Established in September 1923, Pi Beta Phi’s North Carolina Alpha Chapter made history as UNC–Chapel Hill’s first women’s fraternity.
Today, the chapter is based in a stately Colonial Revival home, reflecting both tradition and timeless campus charm.
