I personally found it kind of funny and understand the sentiment. I bet it was pretty cathartic to write (and the author has a certain way with words, though not so much tact/decorum), but she should have rewritten it or not sent it at all [assuming it's even real, which I could see going either way. If it's fake that's a weird thing to decide to do].

I think it's hilarious and pretty close to the rant I remember hearing during Greek Week. Not that it's acceptable (it's not), it's just hilarious.

TFM now has a picture posted of the alleged writer.

This sort of thing absolutely sets me off. The Internet is incredibly destructive and dangerous at times. And this is one of them. Personally I think it is the work of someone with an axe to grind against a person. There's nothing preventing me (or any of you guys) from writing something and passing it off as someone else's.

This situation could be foisted on ANY GLO, and I am not casting stones anywhere or pointing any fingers. There but for the grace of God...

AMEN!! You know that we ALL thought "Oh, please, not mine..." when we starting reading this. I certainly did. Could have been any one of our organizations, if it is real... and that is a BIG if.

If you look at their home page, someone definitely hacked it, too.

That was one of the funniest things I've ever read. It was seriously like a bad parody. Awful.

PeppyGPhiB 04-18-2013 07:10 PM

Unfortunately, it appears to be real. This chick is pathetic, as her Twitter account (now deleted) proved for quite a long time: http://imgur.com/a/bAJhA

Yeah, Jezebel/Gawker folks have done quite a bit of digging and found a lot of offensive stuff.

peppermint23 04-18-2013 07:13 PM

Yup, it's definitely real and I know the girl's name and identity now. She sounds awful.

The email was one of the funniest things I've read in a while though.

i am sooooo glad email wasn't the prevalent form of communication back in the stone age when i was an Active.

I was frantically looking to click on the like option!

I saw the story on Jezebel's FB page, clicked on links to get the Gawker story, then came right to GreekChat to see if it were true. :eek:

(GreekChat: the Snopes.com of the Greek world! :))

Reminds me the infamous blood drive email a few years back.

Kevin 04-18-2013 10:12 PM

Remember, her email was targeted at her sisters. That may be the sort of language they use to motivate one another. This was never intended to be disseminated. Again, I'd be more disgusted with whoever leaked it than the author. No one has any idea about the context of this thing or the sort of culture it originated in. Please don't act like college kids are all about high tea and crumpets and expect them to act accordingly at all times, especially when they are communicating in-house.

This is, of course, a lesson about digital communication lost on a lot of our active members who often don't realize both the permanence of anything they write online (God help me if I ever run for office with all of my posts in the politics forum) and the speed at which it can be disseminated.

NCSigma 04-18-2013 10:16 PM

I thought it was funny while still being really offensive! And I appreciated the avoidance of "text-speak" and the use of proper grammar. I can sympathize with her frustration for sure. It's just too bad it got leaked.
