The First Amendment means that public colleges cannot bar students from joining fraternities or take disciplinary action against them for doing so. Private schools, of course, are under no such constraints.
But the First Amendment does not require public colleges to have Greek life or to recognize fraternities as student organizations.
So no, no one can "abolish" fraternities. But schools, both public and private, can certainly make it very difficult for fraternities to survive, at least as we presently know them. And as 1964alum said, loss of parental support—or possibly even alumni support—can also make survival difficult.
