re: Federal judge rules that U of Wyoming sorority must allow men claiming to be women to join

Yep. The issue is that as absurd as this is, the national rules say they accept "men who identify as women."

I hate it for the girls. They did the right thing by trying to protect their sorority. But legally, there is nothing that can be done. They can quit the sorority and let it die at the University of Wyoming or wait this person out and try to rebuild their membership (no one is wanting to join this sorority, so their new members are weaker)

Wyoming has four sororities. They have a three day rush (SEC schools have up to 12 days). Its just not a big deal up there.

What do these people get out of it?

I just don’t understand the thought process.

This is obviously insane, so what does this judge get out of it?

Definitely. I understand how it works. My daughter went through it at an ACC school and we just had friends that finished up at LSU and Ole Miss this weekend.

But we also have a friend that went to Southern Miss. No recommendations, no resume, no prep at all. Decided she was going to go through at the last moment.

Chi Omega, considered one of the best.

It is completely different outside the SEC, southern ACC schools and big Texas schools.

The other reason is that I think sororities (and fraternities) are distracting nonsense when students should be focused on school.

Sororities and fraternities sometimes yield better academic results and sometimes worse depending on the culture. In that sense, I don’t think we can make blanket conclusions.

FTR, I was not a participant.

This is my point. Let’s keep this 90-10 issue alive.

Him possibly being an ogling pervert doesn’t preclude the likelihood that he’s also someone’s pawn.

Looks like I'm going back to school, boys!

Yes, I think there are a lot more people out there with an agenda of ending single sex college organizations than there are with ending operating bakeries.

I need more info on this. Because it looks like the judge just ruled that since they are a private organization they can determine their own bylaws which in this case the National Kappas decided to allow a tranny. The local chapter didn't like it so they sued the national organization. This looks like it's a problem with the National Kappa Kappa Gamma Won't define a woman so the judge said "It's not us to the court because it's a private organizations bylaws"

"Having considered the issues presented (again), we find that the majority of the claims must be dismissed on the grounds that this Court still may not interfere with [the sorority's] contractually valid interpretation of its own Bylaws," writes U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson in the final ruling.

"Nothing in the Bylaws or the Standing Rules requires Kappa to narrowly define the words "women" or "woman" to include only those individuals born with a certain set of reproductive organs, particularly when even the dictionary cited by Plaintiffs offers a more expansive definition," Johnson writes. "Nor has Kappa or the Fraternity Council concealed this definition from its members: in fact, it has published and distributed multiple texts clarifying the issue."

The guy was 100% doing this for attention and money though because he is now suing the attorneys that represented the plaintiffs:

Langford is now suing the lawyers who represented the sorority sister plaintiffs for damages. While she once envisioned "growing old" in Wyoming, she moved out of state this month, citing the stresses of the lawsuit and national attention, as well as a spate of new anti-trans laws passed in Wyoming over the last three years.

Depending upon how much more developed and sophisticated the cheating system is in any particular Greek organization, sure.

Yeah, this is also a thing.
