Yo, dog. Really? Aside from a couple of questionable grammatical and syntactical choices it is a very well written letter by a young woman who takes her responsibilities seriously and decided to give her sorority the courtesy of an explanation for her resignation. Her writing ability surpasses that of 90% of the posters around here and 99.999% of the writing on the Internet overall. (And don't get me started on the sentence, "Did you read the letter this girl wrote though?)
It sounds to me like the reporter is some jealous twit that simply can't imagine that anyone who participates in pageants could have a brain. Frankly, there is no news here. Just a 'news' outlet trying to gain web hits by putting pictures of a very attractive woman on their site and trying to gin up controversy.
It is, yet, more than a little verbose. A couple of paragraphs would have sufficed.
I have to agree with you, I was expecting some Valley Girl letter from the whole tone of the article and comments, but I didn’t have a problem with the letter at all. The worst I could say that it might have been a little long winded.
Really, this letter is generating hoopla as if it’s supposed to be embarrassing??? Seems like a nice, responsible, well-mannered girl to me.
