If you're talking about a private school, it's not a question of "rights" at all. The Constitution confers power on and limits the power of the federal government and defines the relationship of the federal government to the states and the states to each other; it simply doesn't apply to private institutions. And as PsychTau explained, even when the Constitution comes into play, purely social organizations don't have the protection that groups with political purposes have, since the freedom of association in the First Amendment is aimed primarily at association for the purpose of political (in the broadest sense) activity.
