Just to clarify a little more, the obligation of the universities not to recognize student organizations that discriminate (except, as you noted, for those excpetions provided by federal law, such as with social GLOs) is typically tied to receipt of federal funds, including student loans. Violate the federal laws regarding student orgs and federal funds can be cut off or restricted.
It is also worth remembering that when it comes to private universities and colleges (obviously not an issue with UGa), constitutional protections such as freedom of association are inapplicable, since the Constitution only prohibits the government from infringing on the right to freely associate. Some civil rights law might be applicable, but not constitutional provisions.
