Iam the first transgender woman to rush sororities at the University of Michigan," Emily Kaufman captioned a selfie on Tumblr in September 2015, "and because I am representing trans people, looking cute is a must!" She wore her dark, naturally curly hair in a bob; a dainty silver necklace with starfish charms hung around her neck.
Emily is bubbly and chatty and, as a sophomore, already had friends in a few of the sororities. After 18 years of what she calls “suppressed femininity,” Emily started coming out to friends and family during her freshman year; she’d spoken about her transition in classes and LGBT groups on campus. On the first day of rush, a sister in one house approached her and said, "You were in my women’s studies class! I think it’s so amazing what you’re doing. I really hope your rush process goes well."
"I was all excited," Emily remembers. "I called my parents and said, ’I’m totally joining a sorority.’"
After round one, a dizzying tour of the stately brick mansions that house Michigan’s 15 NPC sororities, Emily could have been invited back to as many as 11 for round two, per the rules of the university’s Panhellenic Council, which governs sorority life on campus. Many of Emily’s friends were called back to seven or more sororities. Emily was only asked back to three. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
“From what my friends told me, basically the rush board for that sorority [made up of 21- to 22-year-old women] chooses most of the girls,” Emily says. With no guidelines on transgender members from their national leadership, all it takes is one or two students on the rush board to say, "We don’t want a trans girl," to exclude even the most beloved rushee.

What is it, or do I dare ask?
Thanks for bringing this “story” back to reality.
Everything is out of kilter, but the jaws, mouth and hands are always a dead giveaway.
What is it, or do I dare ask?
A hammer, I'll wager.
They have a tendency to use knives because they are up close and personal and can be stabbed repeatedly to release their pent up homo anger at the world. They are also much quieter than guns.
I have not doubt that an out of control Federal govt that bankrupts people over their religious beliefs, guts the Constitution on a daily basis will ignore all this and FORCE them to accept Tranny’s or whatever they identify as on a given day.
The story, if you read it, says yes, sororities may reject men. For now.
Fraternities are eat up with gay men. They are attracted to the camaraderie. We still have gay fraternity brothers that hang out with us.
“Gender transition surgery” in PC lingo has now been reassigned as “gender affirmation surgery.”
Sheesh.
These idiocrats who keep insisting the gender “binary” is either nonexistent, or else is a “social construct” then find they need to keep reconstructing it.
But the best they can do is to reverse the “binary,” which is, ever was, and ever will be-—male and female!
Hell hath no fury like a bitchy faggot scorned ...
I do know of one homicide committed by a homo who stabbed is victim 35 times in the chest. The prosecutor won the case by taking a piece of cardboard and tabbing it 35 times in front of the jury which took over a minute. That's a helluva lot of rage.
The sorority sisters should keep this in mind. They are real, live, biological XX girls. The are what this deranged queer wants (or thinks he wants) to be, a desire which will forever by utterly frustrated. He could well take out his frustrations on them.
“Fraternities are eat up with gay men. “
this was not the case when I was in college. Those guys were the biggest homophobes on campus.
I was in school in the late 70’s and early 80’s and they were coming out then. My wife has the same experience with her sorority and fraternity(little sister).

No. I have to say that I wasn’t a sorority girl. I never even considered it. Still..
I did date fraternity boys, though.
Must be a regional thing then. The ones around here, never would have happened.
Sororities can reject any pledge as can fraternities.
You seek membership but are not assured of it. Same with college admissions.
The story is about a transgender.
What sororities and fraternities have always done, and should continue to be allowed to do, is of little concern to a tranny with a lawyer and an activist judge waiting in the wings.
