I don't think that legal card will get you very far. Your right of free association would only being infringed upon if the school took disciplinary action against you because you joined a Greek organization. There is nothing that requires the school to recognize social Greek organizations. There is (presumably) nothing that prevents you from joining an organization that is not recognized by the school -- assuming any such organizations want to establish unrecognized chapters.

BTW, a quick Google search turned up a 2008 strategic plan for USFSP that listed introducing Greek life as an action to be considered/taken. Any idea on the status of that?
