I seriously hope you are not taking legal guidance from this website.
You need to find a real lawyer if you are signing legal contracts with anyone about anything. Expensive? Maybe. But very likely your university offers some sort of legal counsel guidance. Does your school have a law school? Call them and see if they provide pro bono services for student issues.
If you voluntarily agree to sign a contract that allows them to search your room, you may very well find it binding.
But if you sign it and then decide to change the locks to your house, they'd have to sue you for breech of contract. The police won't enforce civil contracts without an order from a judge. You might still end up in court but they'll have to hire an attorney as well. They'd be better off evicting you.
Jeez, sounds like maybe a lawyer is a good idea.
If the alumni have so little trust of the actives, why in the world are they entering into this agreement? Why would the collegians want to live under such terms? I'd rather live in a dorm!
