Of course, not, because it's okay to make fun of white trash and hillbillies, few of which you're likely to find among the student body at Duke anyway.
Seriously though, context matters. At Duke, this kind of party plays into every stereotype possible -- including those about Greeks. And I can see how the way the invitation was worded pushed it over the top for some people.
The reality is that if they didn't think they'd provoke this kind of reaction at Duke, they were seriously deluded.
