CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A national sorority has defended allowing a transgender woman into its University of Wyoming chapter, saying in a new court motion that the chapter followed sorority rules despite a lawsuit from seven women in the organization who argued the opposite.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma motion to dismiss, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne, is the sorority’s first substantive response to the lawsuit, other than a March statement by its executive director, Kari Kittrell Poole, that the complaint contains “numerous false allegations.”
“The central issue in this case is simple: do the plaintiffs have a legal right to be in a sorority that excludes transgender women? They do not,” the motion to dismiss reads.
The sorority sisters opposed to Langford’s induction could presumably change the policy if most sorority members shared their view, or they could resign if “a position of inclusion is too offensive to their personal values,” the sorority’s motion to dismiss says.
“What they cannot do is have this court define their membership for them,” the motion asserts, adding that “private organizations have a right to interpret their own governing documents.”
Even if they didn’t, the motion to dismiss says, the lawsuit fails to show how the sorority violated or unreasonably interpreted Kappa Kappa Gamma bylaws.
The sorority sisters’ lawsuit asks U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson to declare Langford’s sorority membership void and to award unspecified damages.
The lawsuit claims Langford’s presence in the Kappa Kappa Gamma house made some sorority members uncomfortable. Langford would sit on a couch for hours while “staring at them without talking,” the lawsuit alleges.

The girls should simply disband or leave that Sorority.
Stop dealing with someone else’s stacked deck.
I thought you had to be asked to join a sorority. You can’t just show u and say I’m here
How much is the terrorist being paid to terrorize the sorority? Always follow the money, and they’re on someone’s payroll. We learned about this game in the 1960’s, and some of us are still around to remember, as well as care.
if there’s a schlong, move along...
Yep...let the sorority do what it wants...there are plenty of other sororities...or you can make your own with your own sorority by-laws.
Vote with your feet...
Parents should not allow their daughters to join a sorority, especially if it has trannies.
There’s more to this story that the article isn’t telling.
Flounder fathered a tranny ?
“...they could resign if “a position of inclusion is too offensive to their personal values,”
Should let him pledge then blackball him.
Kappa Gams have accepted trannies into their sororities for the past couple of years. Looks like they are trying to kill the panhellenic system. Leftists have been trying to do that for years.
This sounds like an idea for a sitcom. Maybe have Tom Hanks dress up as a girl, and then hilarity ensues, as he pretends to be one of the girls at this sorority.
Otter : Oh, well, usually. Unless the pledge in question turns out to be a real closet-case.
Otter , Boon : Like Fred.
In one of these cases, the black robed morons will have to rule that XX (Female) and XY (male) are the same which they most certainly are not. That is when the whole lie collapses.
I don’t care how much our enemys cry the X – Y sex-determination system is poured in concrete.
And yes, of course the women (XX chromosomeS) should disband and ask for membership in a sane National structure.
That is just a man pretending to be a woman.
You can always have an initiation ceremony where any appendage must be removed during the ceremony. It can be handed back to him after the initiation.
If you still have the parts you were born with you are not a transgender you are a transvestite
