Though Alpha Omicron Pi eventually extended a membership offer to the student, Harper Hopkins, the sorority’s national office first hesitated, saying it lacked a policy on admitting transgender students.

Hopkins initially accepted the offer and joined AOII but soon quit, describing the sorority’s initial treatment as an issue of “systemic inequality and structural violence” and decrying AOII’s “oppressive policies and behavior.”

More drama in the Tufts greek community.

Between that and the gay guy who was "forced" to watch straight porn, I'm starting to think this is a planned attack on greek life there.

It didn’t really seem fair,” Reeves told the Boston Globe this week. “By them saying we couldn’t give her a bid because they don’t have a policy? That’s basically them taking a stance and having an unofficial policy.”

Administration has also thrown its support behind Hopkins.

“Tufts University has been named one of the best universities in the country for LGBTQ students by a number of organizations,” said spokesman Patrick Collins. “We believe that students should be bale to join the Greek Life organization with which they identify.”


I don't see the problem here. They tried to get a tranny in, Nationals said no and the half the chapter dropped.


Voting with their wallet. Free market behavior, good for them.

I thought he was forced to watch lesbians? Which adds another layer of him being an a-hole.

Sorostitutes are killing the Greek system with their wanna be social justice warrior ways. Who gave a damn bid to a tranny in the first place? I mean who could've known that would go wrong?

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again!

Can't blame them for not wanting that around.

I respect their right to do whatever the hell it is they want to do with their bodies. Why can't they respect my right to not want them anywhere around me?

Everything in life is a two way street except for the "tolerance" movement...where if you don't give them EVERYTHING they want, you're going to be called way worse names than you'd ever call them.

No reasonable person would go to Tufts expecting anything but pretty far-left greek life.

Sucks for them, but you know what you're getting into when you go to a private school in Massachusetts that was a liberal arts college for most of its existence.

I don't see what power any of these sjws have over Greek life. I mean obviously they discriminate against everybody. that's the idea behind a bid. Not everybody gets in. They don't even have to have a reason.

They're just the natural enemy of SJWs.

Greek orgs pump out business leaders and conservative pols, and in many ways are the last bastions of non-PC on college campuses.

I see the way they look at me, assuming my gender...calling me "freak", wondering if I had surgery or if I just tuck it in. I'M SICK OF BEING JUDGED.

They are the ones who become politicians who try to put my gender in some archaic soulless box, the doctors who commit an act of violence against me when I'm born by designating something so personal as my gender in one of those inhumane boxes, and the indifferent people who passively and subconsciously approve of my persecution by remaining silent.

Bring down the fraternities. Bring down the whole fricking patriarchy.

So they're mad becuase they didnt want a biological male in their house and part of their sorority?

Remember? It doesnt matter if you are transgender into a female it has NOTHING to do with your sexual orientation remember? Identifying as a woman while you are biologically a male doesnt mean you like guys remember? They're totally separate remember?



So this kid, by the own rules of the transgender community, is playing Sorority Boys in real life.
