This is a standard administrative trick: "Gosh, the faculty wanted to defer a whole year but I talked them into only one semester." Truth is the faculty don't have any more power to determine when & with whom you can associate with than you can abridge their 'academic freedom'. If the alumni have talked to the VP and explained the extreme economic hardship, and still get no relief - then the wrong alumni have been doing the talking. I promise you: set up a meeting with the VP, a local judge and several attorneys representing the chapters. Explain how enforcement of such rules would bring Federal civil rights issues into play, and how the University might be liable for economic damages. Ask if the faculty is willing to accept liability for the losses. You'll be amazed at the sudden rush to cooperate and compromise.
