I think that in our neck of the woods (our neck being above the Mason-Dixon) things were a lot more loosey-goosey in general, except maybe at Pitt & Penn State, and that lasted well into the 1980s. A lot of things have come about or are more strictly enforced primarily as risk management issues. Case in point: I remember as a freshmen, rushees being invited to mixers. Just a few years later, that didn't fly.
I'm betting that Texas and Bama etc etc were having very structured rushes in 1973.
