I'm saying I suspect that the freedom of association would be.
You can suspect all you want about what would be included, in theory -- go and read the law, and you will see that it is not. Schools that get the money are required to allow military recruiters on campus. They're required to abide by Title IX and other anti-discrimination laws. But they aren't required to retain students who join off-campus GLOs.

Writing your congressman is the way that you would change the law from what it is to what you want it to be (you apparently believe that private schools that get government funding should be forced to allow students to join GLOs. The many private schools that forbid membership, even off-campus, prove that that is not currently the case.)

Just as an example, here's a post where a leading conservative law professor discusses a policy at Wesleyan barring students from even attending parties at off-campus private clubs. He thinks the policy is stupid and over-broad, but acknowledges that it is legal due to the university's freedom-of-association powers:
