"The formula for acquiring Internet fame often seems less a meritocracy and more a free-for-all, particularly considering incidences like the newfound celebrity of foul-mouthed University of Maryland junior, Rebecca Martinson, whose over-zealous email to fellow sorority sisters went viral last week. Her Delta Gamma sisters received an expletive-filled email from Martinson, criticizing their &amp;quot;awkward&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;boring&amp;quot; behavior at recent Greek life events. Online news blog Gawker leaked the email last week, and the following nationwide attention has resulted in Martinson&amp;#039;s resignation from Delta Gamma. Martinson&amp;#039;s outrageous letter seems almost a parody of itself, boasting 41 uses of the F-word and syntax that is equally bubbleheaded and homicidal. The media has responded, labeling Martinson everything from the most &amp;quot;deranged&amp;quot; to the &amp;quot;angriest&amp;quot; sorority girl ever. However, her subsequent Internet notoriety is undeniable, and has even earned her notice from Hollywood higher-ups. Oscar-nominated actor Michael Shannon of Boardwalk Empire performed a satiric monologue of Martinson&amp;#039;s letter, and several talk show mentions and even job offers have surfaced. Although Martinson&amp;#039;s fifteen minutes of fame may not be quite over, her time as a member of Delta Gamma certainly is. In reference to Martinson, Delta Gamma&amp;#039;s Facebook page posted that they have &amp;quot;accepted the resignation of one of its members whose email relating to a social event has been widely distributed and publicized.&amp;quot; The Delta Gamma chapter president told Gawker that this unflattering episode &amp;quot;does not reflect our chapter&amp;#039;s values.&amp;quot; What are your thoughts on Rebecca Martinson&amp;#039;s new notoriety?
