I just finished reading Syrett's book. The OP asked "is it legitimate?" It certainly is. Syrett teaches at the University of Northern Colorado and the book is published by the University of North Carolina Press.
The book is descriptive ("this is how it was, and how it is") rather than prescriptive ("this is how I think it ought to be"). I found the account of American college life in the early 19th century (the milieu from which the fraternity movement began) particularly interesting.
