We are talking about private schools. Private schools can limit their students' behavior in countless ways that would be unconstitutional in a public school (for example, requiring students to attend Chapel).
But, if private schools recieve any federal funding they have to follow certain rules. Now they can get around that. Such is the case at Grove City College in PA, they refuse any federal funding even stafford loans and pell grants, they won't take state funds either. They had problems with the feds before and some of their rules so they decided to pull the old "we don't take your money we don't have to follow your rules" approach.

I know my chapter is in a similar situation right now, although at a public school. We lost university recognition becuase they hate greek life, but, national still supports us 100%, there are threats but, if you can prove it is a community organization or find other forms of umbrellaing yourself it makes a stronger case.
