I would bet it's more economics.
You can rent a bar to (roughly) 200 sorority and fraternity members, 125-150 of whom are probably underage and therefore can't drink anything but pop.
Or you can leave your bar open for the whole rest of the college, the locals, and the out of towners - ALL of whom are 21 and will drink alcohol.
This has been my gripe about 3rd party vendors since that whole thing was started. It's not really an option unless you have so much money that you can pay the bar enough in rent to make up for the money they will lose on you.
And everyone who's said if they don't like it they should leave is right.
