You are right dakareng, they can't dictate private membership policies. But, the university wishes for chapters to keep their autonomy, and the chapters have agreed to it in order to be on campus. Our ISC constitution reads:
"5. The selection process must support Stanford's policy of local chapter autonomy. Specifically it may not involve letters of reference or the gathering or use of information from any source outside the University for purposes of deciding whether or not to select, or consider for selection, any particular student. The selection process may not in any manner involve persons from outside the University for the purpose of influencing either the decisions or students as to whether or not to join a particular chapter. "
Basically, we have to consider girls on their own merits, not because so and so's parent's, cousins or whatever are important people. It's really not a big deal, since no one bothers to turn in recs. If my chapter ever got an RIF, I don't think we would know what to do with it!
