It's not like they're working with the school and saying "you'll be kicked off campus if you don't change your bylaws."

I agree, for two reasons:
1) A single sorority deciding not to hang out with a fraternity may not have enough of an impact. It's very panhellenic for them to band together and agree that messing with one of them is the same as messing with all of them.
2) The sororities are asking the men to self-police, before it becomes such an issue that the U has to get involved.
Back at good ol' U of I, we used to have something called Bid Night, which was like a week after formal rush, and houses paired up to throw really big events. It went away after my freshman year, because there were date rape incidents two years in a row. Never mind that both years involved men from the same fraternity, everyone received the consequences.
