She's what is wrong with today's society. Always blaming others for her mistakes. So, if her child doesn't get an 'A' in reading, it's the teachers fault--instead of her own for not making her child do homework!

That's a big leap to take there.
So she doesn't want her kids partying. She's honest. Most parents aren't smart enough to realize that a good upbringing can go out the door when a child gets on his/her own. You can teach a man to fish, but that doesn't mean he won't ever go hungry. She never says she didn't teach her children well. She just says that she doesn't want them getting into trouble.
I dare say everyone would not be jumping down her throat had she not mentioned that she doesn't want them being greek. I'll be honest, when I think of the stuff I've seen go on at greek parties I am a bit hesitant for my son to join a fraternity. Do I REALLY want to think about him being used as a game piece for actives to throw moldy fruit at in a game of pong during hell week? Not really. (I have seen this happen.) There are a million other things that I could say I am hesitant about him going through.
Am I going to stop him if he goes greek? No. And, this woman doesn't say she wants to stop them. She just hopes they won't go greek. So what?
I say this woman is concerned about her kids. Let's be honest here. She probably has reason to be hesitant. Anyone who says that they haven't done some really stupid/dangerous things is lying. She even said she hoped they'd learn from them.
But, everyone is so eager to burn her at the damn stake because she said one thing negative about the greek system. That's stupid.
