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; shed 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 womens studies class! I think its so amazing what youre doing. I really hope your rush process goes well."
"I was all excited," Emily remembers. "I called my parents and said, Im totally joining a sorority."
After round one, a dizzying tour of the stately brick mansions that house Michigans 15 NPC sororities, Emily could have been invited back to as many as 11 for round two, per the rules of the universitys Panhellenic Council, which governs sorority life on campus. Many of Emilys 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 dont want a trans girl," to exclude even the most beloved rushee.

Crikey, that is one UGLY DUDE.
A sorority is a private institution and may to choose to associate or not associate with whomever they want.
Of course, I, as a parent, have NO obligation to pay for my daughter to belong to a sorority that chooses to have men as members and live in their house.
I would not reward such behavior.
There are no nutcase sorority girls?
Ok, not this kind of nutcase, yet, but nutcases anyway.
Yikes! Where’s the eye-bleach?
“Crikey, that is one UGLY DUDE.”
Was thinking the same thing. Imagine Laz doing a panty raid and finding that thing’s panties.....we’d all have to sign the “Get well card”
I never really got in to the Greek thing (was not a frat boy) ... but this DUDE is a special kind of nuts that’s far beyond the ordinary, garden variety nuttiness of the sorority girls I knew.
There are only two genders but there are *lots* of mental problems.
Emily is still a guy...pretending otherwise is just feeding his problem.
As any Latin (French, German, ...) student knows, there are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
There are, however, only two sexes: male and female. And getting one’s parts chopped off doesn’t change one’s sex.
Linguistic pecksniffery aside, your point about LOTS of mental problems is very well made.

That was a big time sport in Sodom & Gomorrah until God showed his authority.....
Assigned? Like the doctor just flipped a coin and it came up heads so he wrote male on the birth certificate? Liberalism really is a mental disease.
How do you haze ‘em ?
“How do you haze em ?”
Chode...will let you take this question....
There are two sexes. I think in language their are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
