Sorority Girl E-mail Writer 'Resigns'

[Hum]

The mean-girl sorority rant read round the world has taken a somewhat predictable turn, with Delta Gamma president Rebecca Martinson ?resigning? from her sorority Wednesday because of her profanity-laced, media-frenzy inducing email.

?Delta Gamma has accepted the resignation of one of its members whose email relating to a social event has been widely distributed and publicized through social media and traditional media channels. The tone and content of the email was highly inappropriate and unacceptable by any standard,? read Wednesday?s announcement on the University of Maryland sorority?s Facebook page. ?All reasonable people can agree, this is an email that should never have been sent.? Further, Delta Gamma now considers the matter ?closed.?

Dream on, sisters. Since Gawker first shared the email a week ago, Martinson?s f-bomb-, threat-laced fury at fellow Delta Gamma members for ?literally? being ?boring,? ?awkward,? ?weird,? ?mentally slow? and ?stupid? has gone seriously viral, with major news outlets from ABC News to CNN giving it coverage. It?s also spawned a slew of hysterical parodies, including actor Michael Shannon?s pitch-perfect delivery, a stop-motion Barbie performance on the YouTube show the "Most Popular Girls in School," a reading by an animated Joe Pesci, and a scary-funny dramatic reading by standup comedian Kelsey Cook.

So why has Martinson?s screed been such popular online fodder? Many reasons, according to Michael Fertik, founder and CEO of Reputation.com, who told CNN it was because of the "mean girls" stereotype, the surprise factor of "something so vulgar and crude being spouted by someone who looks fairly angelic,? and the fact that a quick search of her social media accounts revealed other less-than-politic moments. And, he added, the email could follow the college junior for years.

?The Internet is forever,? Fertik added. ?Unfortunately for her, her ?online tattoo? will stick with her for a long, long time?and it will likely color how peers, future employers, grad school admissions officers, etc., regard her as a person. She?s going to have to work very hard to show that she's taken this experience and used it to grow into a more mature, thoughtful, tolerant and compassionate person.?
