Maybe define a variable, indicating the state

(defvar privat-org nil
  "If privat-org settings are active, otherwise institute-settings.")

then some function setting the vars with setq as you have shown.

(defun my-toggle-var-sets ()
  (interactive)
  (if privat-org
      (my-institute-settings)
    (my-private-settings)))

Both forms should set `privat-org' respectivly.
