Very easy, if you're familiar with the category; probably not so much if not.

Took me ages to get started, and had to use hints, which I try not to do. Heaven knows what the subject had to do with the spangram - obviously too American for me.

Sororities, and fraternities are sort of odd student unions at US colleges and universities named with Greek letters. They appear a lot in films. I am, of course, a member of Delta Tau CHI.

Me too, so a bit of digging and there's an American kids clothing company of the same name that uses the phrase in its adverts.
