    The university does not have the authority to block students from participating in an off-campus organization unaffiliated with the university, basically.

      They usually have a code of conduct, though. They can put whatever they want in the code, and expell students for violations.

      Are US universities in such a situation that they can’t collect enough tuition without tolerating otherwise unacceptable behavior?

        Code of conduct at a public university cannot block a student from constitutional rights. Freedom of association is part of the first amendment.

        As messed up as it is I don’t think a public university could ban a student from joining the KKK even. Which is way worse than a fraternity

        Private is a different matter entirely

          minor correction the KKK is a fraternity as well. Maybe they’ve started allowing women in but, historically its an american frat.
