What rights were denied? Regardless whether regents, trustees or whatever are elected or not has nothing to do with the Greek system governing and acting judiciously. The 6th amendment applies to criminal prosecutions. You don't get a jury (I should say you don't have a right to a jury) if there is the possibility of less than 6 months in prison. (I actually looked it up this time because I wasn't sure whether it was a year or shorter. It's 6 months). Now if this fraternity was being sent to prison for over 6 months then in all intents and purposes they should have it applied.
They may want to look at the University's constitution or charter and see what it says about discipline of campus organizations.
