in fraternities, at least in my chapter, we usually give legacies a legit shot. turning one away is difficult but it depends on circumstances. our general rule is, unless a kid really sucks, if he is a chapter legacy and his dad/grandfather/brother are still connected to the chapter, he is pretty much in. if he is a beta legacy, but not a chapter legacy, we have a little more leeway to decide if we really want him. but again, those kids pretty much have "bids to lose". maybe its just respect for tradition or whatever
