There may or may not be other cases to be quoted... really all outside my area of expertise. I can only talk about what I know, as I have done so far.

Rambler169 - Gusteau, who has posted in this thread, is a member of the Greek Community at George Mason University and he may be able to shed more light on this. But my understanding is that the Iota Xi Chapter currently may not use any of the George Mason facilities. Basically, all of this:
"n.11. Indeed, the Chapter still recruits members, holds regular meetings, and hosts parties" takes place off campus.

You are correct.

True. However, the precedent - as I understand it - is that the court agreed with the public university (GMU) that
"the University's action does not deprive Chapter members of their constitutional right to associate with each other" when denying official recognition and use of campus facilities.
