Nobody can take away your Constitutional rights. But there's no Constitutional question here that I can see. The Constitution doesn't guarantee you the right to belong to a fraternity or sorority. And it doesn't guarantee that you can live in any given place. (If you're being told you can't live somewhere due to race, that's another matter -- one of Civil Rights.)
And FuzzieAlum is right. If you're under 21 your rights are at least not the same as they are later in life. Not that you have no rights, but they are dramatically modified.
Finally, remember that the university has rights, too -- no matter how agregious they may seem to us. Private colleges are, in the long run, simply businesses -- and unless they break the law, they can do pretty much whatever they want to within the context of that business. And, what they're doing here is simply cutting their liability.
