If ALL of the fraternities and sororities in the movie were fictitious, would that have caused such an uproar or make people mad that real societies were not represented?

I saw the movie today and thought that Alpha Phi Alpha's choice to boycott is ridiculous. The movie did not feature Alpha's stepping (as they were seen in School Daze) or really discussed. They were actually honored at one point in the movie when ALL African-American historical Greeks like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. were praised for their involvement. Alpha Phi Alpha's choice to have the director remove scenes is interesting. The Greeks presented in the movie were fake societies created for entertainment. Yes, the groups did represent the traditional passage that Black Greek letter societies face, but as everyone knows, IT IS JUST A MOVIE. The representation of realistic sororities and fraternities was in fact making the movie believable and authentic, but were not necessary for the movie to have been successful. So, in closing I ask the question, If ALL of the fraternities and sororities in the movie were fictitious, would that have caused such an uproar or make people mad that real societies were not represented?
