The University could not force the group to take certain members. Unless this is a private school. Needless to say, the easiest analogy to use is this:

Would any fraternity accept women? Would they be forced to accept women because of the non-discriminatory policy? All public schools I know have such a policy and I have yet to hear of any woman joining a fraternity. Also, I have yet to see a fraternity forced to accept any person they didn't want into the organization.

All organizations have certain criteria for membership. For fraternities, you must be male. In some others you must be Christian or at least have a belief in a Creator. All organizations have beliefs. If a potential member does not comply with those beliefs, they are not invited into the organization.

The easiest solution is for the Christian fraternity to sign the policy. Then select members who fit their beliefs and criteria.
This is exactly what I was thinking.

While I don't agree with them wanting to bar gays out of their fraternity, it is up to their own organization to select members on how they see fit.

I would think that in a world this big, there are probably some people out there who are Christian, but are also gay. I mean, I'm Catholic, but I'm also pro-choice. So.. I guess it depends on the person.
