A public school has some discretion to ensure student conduct falls within accepted norms, but they don't really have the power to break up a student organization, except to withdraw university recognition and the ability to participate in IFC if IFC is run by the school.
We had this same situation happen with TKE on our campus. They were kicked off of campus for some pretty egregious alcohol and hazing and grade violations. They continued throughout that time to maintain a chapter house, recruit new members, etc., all under the auspices of their national organization, which apparently was okay with a .6 GPA and allowing a 14 year old to serve alcohol at a philanthropy.
It's my experience that when national organizations aren't interested in enforcing any membership standards or have a more lax view than the school, the school can risk having any semblance of control whatsoever.
