Club President’s Email Sign-Off Clearly Meant To Alienate Members Who Did Not Attend Last Meeting

Published Sunday, October 27th, 2013

Members of the Brown Scrabble Club confirmed that club president Meghan Kerns ’15 was making a clear jab at members of the group who had missed Wednesday’s meeting in her email sign-off.

Kerns’s sign-off, which referenced an inside joke that must have been created at the meeting, was completely incomprehensible to students who were not there to witness its inception.

“Forever a drum-drum girl?” said Alex Maine ’16, who did not attend the meeting because she was studying for a midterm. “Am I supposed to get that?”

Maine added that, to make matters worse, several other members of the group responded to the email with equally mystifying comments. “It seems like they really bonded at the meeting,” said Maine. “Now I have to walk in there next week without any knowledge of who Catslap Nose-Carnage is. It’s going to be humiliating.”

Maine said that this was not the first time she has felt left out because she had to miss a meeting. “Once I left early to have dinner with my parents and they invited me to a Facebook event called ‘A Fish Party.’ When I said I was attending, Meg asked me what kind of fish I was bringing. I was totally lost but they all thought it was so funny.”

Kerns said that her sign-off and the subsequent email banter was not meant with any animosity. “It made sense to the core group,” said Kerns. “People who make time to come to meetings just get each other,” she added.
