Lets say that Daughter joins a "lower tier" chapter in college, however she ends up going to a top law school and ends up working for one of the top law firms in NYC (or something equally lucrative). Does a mother STILL feel she failed at raising her? If so, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

It depends on who she marries
TOTALLY just kidding!!!!
I didn't check in all weekend, but after reading the OP and subsequent posts, I think this is a hoax. I mean come on, what mom would post that? If there is someone who actually would put in writing on the internet those personal and painful feelings (to both her and her daughter), I'll eat my hat...
I live in the south, in a very competitive area, where the first question at mom's happy hours in September is, "Where did your daughter/son pledge?"
Very often, the story that is told is about a sad rush experience (not everyone's kid is going to pledge a "top house"), and NOONE is judgemental. Noone tsks and speaks behind the back of the mom that she didn't raise Susie Q well enough to get in XYZ. This is ridiculous and a total charicature of a heli-southern-mom.
