And it's easy to support nepotism when you went to a school where there weren't many legacies. If you had rushed at a comnpetitive school, you likely wouldn't have gotten a bid to KKG, because you weren't a legacy. If you got cut from all the groups because you weren't a legacy, you'd be singing a different song.

You never cut anyone who was a legacy? I don't know if that's a good thing, in that you were just lucky to not have any nightmare legacies going through. A legacy just may not be a good fit for a chapter. They could be a risk management nightmare, for example. Giving every one of them a bid doesn't sound very "elite" to me.
Extrapolating what has been written by some of the women who are experiencing today's recruitments as moms, it sounds as if it is more difficult if you are a legacy. Therefore, I may have had a better chance going through rush as a non-legacy at a competitive school which is the opposite of what you claim.
