No. In November 1969, the United States Congress passed a bill, signed into law by President Richard M. Nixon, stating "the flag of the United States, and no other flag, shall be implanted or otherwise placed on the surface of the moon, or on the surface of any planet, by members of the crew of any spacecraft ... as part of any mission ... the funds for which are provided entirely by the Government of the United States. ... this act is intended as a symbolic gesture of national pride in achievement and is not to be construed as a declaration of national appropriation by claim of sovereignty.

It is possible, however, that some astronauts carried very small college flags in their Personal Preference Kits, although as of today, no college flags flown to the moon have ever been put up for sale by the astronauts or anyone else. Most of the small PPK flags were state flags and flags of other countries.
