Sending the email out itself to her sisters probably was not worthy of a resignation. There may have been other factors--had she been in trouble previously for other things? If so, this was probably the icing on the cake. Chapters and advisors only have so much patience with that stuff.
At the same time, none of this would be news had she not sent the email in the first place. No one would have been able to leak it out of the chapter much less to the Internet. Actions, regardless of how big or small they may seem at the time, can set up a chain reaction of events that can't be undone. Unfortunately in this case, that chain reaction was not positive and caused the chapter and Delta Gamma as a whole to receive negative press. It may not get press coverage for years, but believe me, people from that campus will talk about it for years.
