You're saying GLO membership isn't attached, I'm saying I suspect that the freedom of association would be. I cannot see a school being allowed to suspend a student for being a Tea Party member, for example. In this situation is isn't about being in a student organization, which I agree is not a 'right,' but about being a member of a non-campus affiliated group.
WTF are you talking about writing congressmen?
Anyway,
The Fire - Beta Theta Pi
In this case Wesleyan passed a rule prohibiting students from residing in property owned by non-student private organizations to try and force Beta to be recognized by the school. They backed off. FIRE may be a source for more information here but they're obviously biased FOR FoA rights. For example they were against the banning of DKE at Yale because of free speech itself.
Now on the other hand a California Lutheran
high school was allowed to expell students for being gay. But that's a different scenario I think.
So besides just telling me they CAN do it, and that I need to write my congresscritter, hows about you tell me WHY they can do it, or show an example of it, and/or explain why we don't see student expulsion as the typical consequence of de-recognization?
