I wonder if freedom of association could be applied to private universities for the same reason/loophole.

A private u doesn't have to recognize GLOs (or any organization). However, if they deny their students the right to belong to an organization that meets off campus, that's where they get into Freedom of Association trouble.

It's funny that you mention this. I was looking at Bowdoin yesterday and they actually have a Social Code dealing with membership in exlusionary organizations. Since 1997, Bowdoin students cannot join fraternities, sororities, or any group that excludes on the basis of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, etc. (Student memberships were completely phased out by 2000.) I wonder of any student has joined any such organization and been brought up to a judicial committee.
