So I'm going to preface this by saying I'm not going not say what the chapter, sorority, or college this happened at for the privacy of all involved. Essentially what happen is we had this transgender girl rush for our sorority through informal recruitment. She looks great, is very sociable, and seemed to fit in with the girls great. Honestly I would have said if we didn't know she was trans I would have considered her a steal. Like I don't think it is a stretch to say she would have easily been a "top tier" girl if no one knew she was trans.
However, despite the fact she looked so good we knew she was trans when she started rushing for us through guys in our partner frat who had known her when she was a guy. So long story short about 90% of the sorority wanted to let her in because she was such an amazing steal by getting her during informal recruitment. But 10% of the girls however were really against it, they were viciously prejudice against her. I frankly felt the way the acted was unwarranted but maybe thats just me.
So basically what then happen was that they decided they were going to break the rules and not have a vote on this girl because they knew she'd get in if they let a vote go through. They did this and the girl never got in. Honestly I think its kind of BS because she was such a great fit and would have really helped out house in recruitment next year but yeah. So I'm on here to ask what you all think and what you would have done?

First things first: How does someone have a join date of 11/30/2012 but doesn't have a first post until today? I've said it before about other posters (who were undeniable spammers) but I think there's something screwy.
Second, to address the OPs question "So I'm on here to ask what you all think and what you would have done?"
I'm pretty sure I would have fallen into the 10%. If the person is not in fact a woman, he is not eligible to be considered for membership. Therefore, no vote is required.
If the person has completed transition and is physically and legally a female there'd be a whole mess of worms to deal with now wouldn't there?
From a sorority perspective, we don't ask PNMs to hike up their skirts and show us their lady parts. I signed a lot of stuff as a pledge. Maybe something attested to the "yup, I totally meet the requirements", including the fact that I'm a she.
Will there come a day when transgendered people are embraced in society as much as homosexuals are today in comparison to 20+ years ago? I don't doubt it. But sorority membership isn't where that will begin.
As far as I'm concerned, a young transgender/sexual person has way bigger chickens to fry.
To the OP, it's great that you're concerned for your sister's future prospects at happiness. That shows you're a good person. But getting snippy with strangers on the internet won't impact her life.
