Most Deranged Sorority Girl

[Sciencewoman]

I thought it was horribly tacky and inappropriate, and I didn't find it to be funny at all. I know my daughter's chapter would never send anything like this. I'm sure the members of the chapter I advise would never send out anything like this. If this wasn't an aberration and unusual behavior, it wouldn't have been leaked and blown up like it did.

What I found ironic was that the whole point of the email was to encourage positive PR and fraternal relations...and this email blew up because it did just the opposite.

It is discussed on the national Facebook page.

Haha, NOW there's a little more spunk in the thread! I mean, really, who DIDN'T have this girl in their chapter? We all can picture a face on this email from any year, any decade. But these kids need a big old slap of reality about (a) putting every feeling they have every moment in all its vitriolic glory in writing, and (b) putting it in an electronic format. The internetz are forever and they are mean. And to be honest, this little girl in particular, based on her Twitter history in addition to this email gem, just needed a big old slap to cut the crap out. Heather Chandler threw a hissy when her friend puked at a Remington party and we all know how things worked out for her.

I also don't blame the supposed someone who "leaked" it - God knows how and how fast this got around before it landed at Gawker or whoever posted it first. I for sure would have forwarded that email just to share the hilarity of her complete over-the-topness with friends. Once that first person hits "forward" (and I bet a bunch of girls hit that forward button), it belongs to the world. The intertubes are fast and did I mention they're mean?

And HI! everyone who remembered me! I wondered if I'd been away too long, but you're right agzg, this story got me all types of reminiscent for GC - that was just pure gold from that young lady's dainty fingertips!

That poor Communications Director can't be having a good week.

On the plus side, pretty house.

I was hoping this was some crazy catfish/fake kind of thing. The twitter screen shots, DG confirming. What a mess. Sometimes I think anybody under the age of 25 shouldn't have access to twitter or other social media because they say too damn many stupid things that they think are funny but aren't. Is common sense even in their vocabulary?

When I was an Active, we had a brother who was exactly like this. This would be exactly how he would try and get a point across if he was frustrated by the actives lack of effort. He always got things done though, and it was just widely accepted that when he got a little too excited this is how he would act. It was part of his character, and his character is what added to our chapter. So despite everything, we loved him. Pretty sure this happens in chapters everywhere. Of course it never occurred during chapter meetings, but in informal settings, such as texts, I think it is fine. What isn't fine is that it got leaked. This is how she talked to her SISTERS. Some of the closest people in her life, theoretically. Shouldn't have to be censored when you're with family.

It was intended for her sisters, and not for anyone else. I believe it should be read that way.

Seriously? You would ask your biological sister, cousins... or your mother if they were retarded or threaten to "cunt punt" them?

Any family member who talked like that to me once wouldn't get a chance to do it a second time.

Maybe, it's different when you're in a Fraternity. It seems that for the most part sorority members are the ones that are most appalled by this. But I have definitely heard the phrases, "Are you f*n retarded, don't make me kick you in the balls". And no one has ever thought twice about it because no one takes it as a real threat.

I'm sure I'll have a bunch of fraternity members disagreeing with me now, but my point is, that it happens, and I personally would never be offended if I received a text like this from one of my fraternity brothers.

From Delta Gamma FB page:

Delta Gamma Fraternity

You may have either read or heard about the inappropriate email written by one of our Collegiate members that was laced with profanity and directed toward her fellow sisters. While this is not reflective of this chapter or this Fraternity, many gossip sites have published it, shared it and gotten thousands of comments on it.

We want to make it clear that this letter in no way reflects the values of Delta Gamma as an International Fraternity or our chapter at the University of Maryland. The processes by which Delta Gamma handles member discipline are confidential, but we have a team of women working with the chapter to take all appropriate action including protecting, educating and supporting the chapter members in the aftermath of this event.

We appreciate all the notes of support, encouragement and offers to help as we work together to foster high ideals of friendship, to promote educational and cultural interests, create a true sense of social responsibility, develop the best qualities of character and to uphold and enforce our values.

Laurie Petrucce Roselle, President
Colleen McGuire, Executive Director



I'm sure they'd all like to know who shared the email with others.

A couple of years ago an email got released from a sorority at Arkansas State University where a sister told underage members how to get around the drinking age id request at their formal. Many years ago an email from a chapter at University of Missouri got out where the sister told members to lie about being sick or having gotten a recent tattoo, because they wanted the members to donate blood to win points for Greek Week.

Here is a dramatic reading and critical commentary with additional references to her tweeting history.

I think I would change my name and go finish my degree in a study abroad program if it were me.

+1 to both. Very different interpretations, equally hilarious. And I'm with you, Old Row, I'd sign up for a study abroad right quick.

I think all of my sisters here are going to want to shake me, but I found the letter hilarious, and I'm fairly certain every curse word that came out of the letter writers fingers has also come out of my mouth at some point in time or another. Mostly at work. It sucks for the letter writer that someone made it public. A valuable lesson learned. Once it's on the internet, assume that it will be there forever and everyone will see it. Something I've unfortunately had to help some other young ladies realize lately.
