Arem't you using latex styles? I recently wrote my Master's thesis.
All I had to do to use my university style was put this in the header:

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage[<options>]{thesisstyle}

This was followed by other thesis preamble related commands like my
adding my examining committee, copyright notice, approval date and so
on.

In the following text I used regular org syntax to write the body of
the thesis. I used babel latex src blocks for equations or multiple
figures under one caption (I use this to gain syntax highlighting,
plain latex with the text should also work fine.

I hope this helps.


PS: I am also thinking of writing a tutorial or "gotcha" page for a
document like this on Worg once I have some free time.
