Question about University of Alabama Greek Life

I graduated from a campus with a much smaller greek life located the Midwest, so the greek life in the South is definitely different, at least from observation and hearing through the grapevine. It's practically infamous, if not legendary, when it comes to comparing regional greek life to another, especially in Alabama.

Is it true that alumni have control over recruitment, as in any questionable recruit will be brought to the attention of a chapter adviser, and that alumnae will put pressure on the officers to either reject or offer a bid? According to one Alabama fraternity member, GLOs can sometimes be run as a private business depending on how much the alumni are involved.

I ask this because of the racial scandal in 2013 (The Crimson White article) and the recent, somewhat controversial Alpha Phi recruitment video (people have said there's no racial diversity amongst the women pictured in the video).
