This is just IMO...
It's subtle, but I think "accepted into" refers to a group specifically comprised of people.
In each example below, I think statement (a) works best.
I think statement (b) would imply something other than the right to be admitted. I'd interpret statement (b) as a reflection of the hospitability or friendliness encountered there.
Finally, I think statement (c) would be more appropriate if you replaced "chess club" - a specific group of people - with an institution, such as "Yale University", which would consist not only of people, but laboratories, athletic arenas, libraries, and myriad other features which comprise a university.
(a) I was accepted into the chess club.
(b) I was accepted at the chess club
(c) I was accepted to the chess club
(a) I was accepted into Congress
(b) I was accepted at Congress
(c) I was accepted to Congress
