Privately-owned is irrelevant with regard to the ADA -- the vast majority of hotels and restaurants are privately owned. Under Title III (Sec. 302(a)) of the ADA, as a general rule:
"No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation by any person who owns, leases (or leases to), or operates a place of public accommodation." The definition of "public accomodation" is fairly long and extensive, but includes places of lodging.
Sec. 307 exempts "private clubs" from the ADA -- I don't know if a fraternity house would meet the definition of "private club" in the Act.
