Cluey -- I think it may be partially due to rushing at a big, Southern university with a strong Greek system, but also partially due to the times. If I had rushed ten years ago at my school, I probably would have been asked what my parents did too, no matter how taboo the question is now. I think that in the past five years, especially, there's been a push by the NPC to rid themselves of the stereotype that sororities are only for rich girls.
I do think that, completely disregarding geography and Northern/Southern differences, there are certain schools where asking the question "What do your parents do?" during rush is considered totally classless, and others where it's completely okay. It has a lot to do with the personality of the school, the personality of the Greek system, etc.
