With specific regard to your question, it provides that the government (federal or state) cannot infringe upon your free speech rights or free association rights.

Neither the NPC nor the local panhellenic council is the government. Therefore, the Constitution and constitutional rights are completely irrelevant to the situation you're describing.


I weep sometimes when I think just how little people seem to know about something so basic to our civic life.

YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OFF MY KEYBOARD! Seriously I am a law student, but i learned this in high school government. So sad a college student thought panhellenic was governed by the US Constitution
