sorority recruitment
by: NikkiI am a trans woman from out of state who will be rushing. Although you'd never guess I was born a man and I am truly a woman inside and out, I would really like to end up in a sorority that is very trans friendly. Someone told me there's at least one transgendered sister in KD. How do I bring this up during recruitment? Can I find a way to talk to her personally?

This site is full of hateful close minded people who are not representative of the sorority life at all. That being said, greek life tends to be more conservative, and some national organizations might not permit them to pledge a transgendered woman. I would really think about what you want and maybe go through rush and ask yourself if there ... You could also talk to the leadership and ethics people at ut...they May have someone who can counsel you about whether or not to rush out of their Allies department. There is a non-panhellenic sorority at ut though that was founded with individuals like you in mind (it was in the daily texan) so you may want to Check that out too. You should know, though, that even if you got a bid, it could be challenging to feel like you belonged in the sorority as there wi likely be girls who will not understand or approve of you--I say that not out of hate but to let you know about a very real possibility

i would not have my heart set on joining a sorority if i were you. for all practical purposes, greek life at UT is just as conservative as other big southern schools. Even if you got a bid, you would probably always feel like an outsider looking in, and if a sorority didnt know you were trans when they bid you, they will probably kick you out if/when they do.... it might not even be their choice but something that their national HQ has them do.
spirit groups give a similar experience but are typically more open minded about bidding non-traditional sorority girls (non stereotypical) and honestly are more likely to not only invite you into their membership but to truly appreciate what makes you truly you. i would look into Spirits and Sweethearts and Lassos and Lone stars at orientation, those are the best spirit groups, though Blue bonnets is growing quickly as is Texas Royals. Dues are also a lot bc you arent paying for the house. They still do lots of fun activities and date events too! they usually start thier rush the first few weeks of school

Gender identity is not something to joke around about. I'm surprised someone so ignorant even got into Texas. Get a life and stop being so cruel.
