This opens the door to the school being able to discipline students for being members of other organizations that aren't recognized or campus based - in this case, the local chapter of Planned Parenthood springs to mind.

Well...what about the school consequenting them
individually because 1. they are students of the school, and therefore must follow school rules; and 2. they violated the school hazing policy. This is of course assuming that the school has a hazing policy, and that it is worded in such a way that individual students can be held responsible for hazing other individual students...whether it was part of the Junior League initiation or a recognized student organization.
Sounds like the school didn't follow their written judicial procedures (from the articles someone linked to), which gave the girls a legal leg to stand on. Had they had a written no hazing policy that was focused on individual students (and didn't just say "organizations") and they would have followed their own due process, the court may have upheld the suspensions.
(not arguing with you 33girl, just discussing!)
