As far as family, that's basically what entitlement is. Witness the trolls on this site who pull the "my grandma founded not only the chapter but the entire sorority." That's the extreme, but growing up with "Alpha Beta" stories and assuming you will be an Alpha Beta because of your family is pretty much the definition of entitlement.
Teenagers are shallow, we don't expect them to be super discerning adults. But if the only people "hurt" are PNMs who are unwilling to consider other groups... then we're probably doing pretty good as far as a recruitment system.
But it's less about family legacy or "lets be ABC" and more "If I'm not DEF I'm not going to be anything." And those girls
are out there.

And thus my utter disgust at the tier system (campus wide or nationally
) and the women who perpetuate it.
