Re: chapters being forced to take legacies, it happens on occasion in Ann Rivers Siddons's books. One obese student in "Heartbreak Hotel" is pledged under alumni pressure so strong that the organization almost threatens to pull the chapter charter. The obese student is described as not merely a legacy, but having multiple ties to highly placed people in the national organization who are also rich/powerful leaders in that state. Siddons depicts this kind of thing happening in both fraternities and sororities (in different books).
This is fiction, of course. but she knows whereof she speaks. My guess is that when she describes SEC chapter operations in the 50s, she doesn't need to make anything up.
