She intends to use her "platform" to generate attention to fighting heart disease, which reportedly plagued her grandparents. Her reign is getting off to a very rough start. ABC News reports that Guy, who grew up in Garrett County, sent an Wearing the crown is apparently a busy gig. (BigStockPhoto) e-mail to her sorority sisters at Cornell University informing them that she was too busy to serve as vice president of recruitment and would not be returning to campus this fall. The e-mail leaked to IvyGateBlog.com. It's a doozy. One excerpt: "I hope that you can take a few minutes to understand exactly how serious this title is."

The gossip blog Jezebel had good fun with the e-mail, putting this headline on its story: "Miss Maryland's Resignation From Sorority Was Literally the Hardest Decision She's Ever Made, You Guys." Meanwhile, others have come to Guy's defense on the IvyGateBlog, saying, "she's just explaining her resignation which is partly for HELPING SICK KIDS and FUNDRAISING. How can you make fun of that?

A bright woman plucked from obscurity to run for the second most powerful office in the world ran into nothing but derision and bile purely because of her looks, intelligence, beautiful family and not to mention her love of America. Anyway, a spokeswoman for Cornell told ABC News that the "letter was never meant to be public." I think I understand why.
