A few months from now, how many college age women will even remember this episode -- let alone the names of those involved?

Besides there may be some house somewhere who would love to "terrorize" their campus.

Not many, I hope.

I see it this way.

If one of the Fab Five members attends a college/university with a cutthroat Greek system -- I really wouldn't be surprised if they're doomed.

True, the names may be forgotten, but McKinney North HS on a rush application would definitely turn on a few lightbulbs, especially at an in-state school. I'm thinking McKinney North has hundreds of alumnae at various schools who are current collegiate members of sororities. So Lisa's right. It only takes one!

For the most part, but don't you think the parents have to take some of the blame for challenging school policies and potential punishment?

maybe, but the school backed down

I mean...okay so the girls have a sence of entitlement...probably passed down for generations, the parents think they are golden, and the school gets walked all over by the parents. Should we blame the grandparents for the way that these parents are raising these kids?

Although, in the same situation, I would have been way worse.

I still think this is "filler" this is in no way "real news" I mean seriously so much more important stuff is happening than this

While I agree that the principal was at fault here (note I said principal not school because it sounds like some teachers tried to punish these students and the adminstration and parents did not support them) at what point do parents have to be responsible for their childs behavior?

Frankly my parents knew my friends, what I did, and where I was pretty much until I went to college. They were open about the fact that drinking underage was not acceptable in their house and there would be consequences about it. I knew my parents meant it and I respected them enough to follow their rules. Once I went to college my parents started to trust my judgement, but until then they said I was a kid and as a kid I was going to do dumb things and it was their job to keep me from dumb things that would harm me or others. So sorry if this sounds mean to some, but I do blame the parents in this sutitution quite a lot.

They should have known what their daughters were doing. It is their job as parents to know what their children are doing. I could not believe in the dallas article a parent said that if the school had told them their daughter was disrespectful they would have done something. Hate to tell that parent, but if they had raised their children right the reports of disrespect and the reports of drinking would not have occured.

The parents in this situation knew what they were doing and by appealing punishments and the such the were partly to blame for the behavior, but the school administration (not teachers) are to blame for not controlling it.

Parents and kids will do these things if the school does not put a stop to it. The administration was letting these girls do what they want and were not supporting staff in disciplining the behavior.

Most parents can be worse than the kids (this is where the child learns it). Trust me I had to deal with two parents in high school who were constantly spreading lies about me (bc their daughters did not make the squad).

About the girls in a sorority - sad thing is there will probably a group on campus they could fit in with. This is not an isolate event. Plenty of HS girls would run with this power if they were given it.

Wasn't the principal the parent of one of the five girls? She compounded her errors by being a bad principal on top of her sucky parenting.

Fab Five is on Lifetime. I just watched it and they're airing it back to back. It just started.
