Maybe state universities can't make restrictions like that, but I have a feeling that if it were illegal for private institutions to do so, it would have been legally challenged a long time ago.

I disagree. If a school receives federal funding I dont think they can take away a student's Constitutional Rights. Many schools think they can and some even get away with it. The reason they get away with it is because most college students dont want to go through the trouble and expense of hiring a lawyer.
Did anyone notice that Beta Theta Pi was recently reinstated at Auburn. (Auburn thread).. Auburn didnt reinstate them willingly, it took a 100 million dollar lawsuit, but they are back in.
