Constitution is for the federal government and state governments for parts that have been incorporated. It doesn't apply to private citizens or groups, just government interactions with private citizens and groups. For instance someone cannot protest on your private property, and if you kick them off you haven't violated their free speech, because free speech only goes so far as to stop the government from interfering. A group has a right to free assembly, meaning they can assemble with who they wish. The government shutting them down for exercising a Constitutional right is a blatant violation. A private university might have the ability to refuse to recognize Greek organizations, though as schools like Harvard and Princeton show, they cannot stop them from existing. Bama however is a public campus and can't refuse to recognize them, and cannot pull recognition just because they think the group is discriminatory (most student groups are in one way or another). Don't misunderstand this as a promotion of discrimination, I don't go to Bama, and I'm completely open to the membership of anyone who fits the mold of the kind of guy we're looking for regardless of race. However, as far as the Constitution goes, you're entirely incorrect, and the moment we're told we have to open our membership to all comers we may as well cease to exist.
