Sorority board frustrated with antisocial dorky pledges threatens to cunt punt them

This is the Delta Gamma sisters at the University of Maryland: Clueless, awkward, socially isolated. They've fallen to going to parties, ignoring their hosts, and talking in a circle to themselves, ignoring everyone else.
Here is Rebecca Martinson, an executive board member of the sorority who is getting multiple complaints about their behavior, and is told they are about to be uninvited to further parties. She tells her sorority sisters, with some blue-color shop-talk to perk up their ears, that they're failing at socializing and they need to improve.
"We have been FUCKING UP in terms of night time events and general social interactions with Sigma Nu. I've been getting texts on texts about people LITERALLY being so fucking AWKWARD and so fucking BORING." (source)
And predictably, rather than responding to the criticism by improving themselves, they say the criticism made them feel uncomfortable, run to the Sorority President, and boot the executive board member out of the Sorority for telling the truth that their social skills suck and hosts are complaining to her.

"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."
