Re Free Speech

A rule like this almost certainly would not implicate the first amendement even at a public university, which is a state actor.

All the Greeks I'm familiar with agree in advance to follow their local IFC/Panhel's local rules when they join. If you never made any kind of agreement with your chapter that you were going to follow the rules, and you're at a public university, then you may have an argument, but seems like at most chapters, you have to agree to follow the rules when you pledge. An agreement like that is a voulntary relinquishment of free speech in whatever narrow areas are affected.
