I appreciate that you understand that there is such a thing as freedom of association. That means that whether or not ASU wants a fraternity system, one is going to exist. They can either keep it associated with the fraternity system and try to regulate it in cooperation with national organizations or they can have a totally unregulated system of local and some national fraternities. They cannot stop people from associating in fraternal systems. It's not within their power.
That said, there are steps they could take, for example, requiring each house to have a residential advisers who could counsel the organizations and report illegal conduct to the authorities. Headquarters could send down consultants to reorganize chapters, etc. Tabula rasa isn't realistic and would probably have more negative unintended consequences than benefits.
