But isn't that purpose fully served by requiring that campus groups allow 
all comers to attend meetings and participate in discussions?   Does voting 
membership or eligibility for leadership positions further serve that 
purpose?

And campus groups are not only discussion groups.   Quite often they are 
action groups as well.   For example, a CLS group and an Outlaw group at GWU 
may both want to present testimony at a DC Council hearing on a same-sex 
marriage bill.
