I think it depends on a few factors. If this is an NPC sorority, the rules say WOMEN. I would hate to get into the argument about what constitutes being a WOMAN in the eyes of that sorority, but my guess is a trans person would not meet the standards as currently written or accepted. My guess is the same rules would apply to NPHC and most of the multi-cultural sororities, although I can't speak for them.
And because of status situations with sororities on campus at public schools they can't bend the rules because of 1 awesome trans person. It could open up a tax law (and Title IX and probably a bunch of other rules the sororities function under) can of worms you'd never get closed again.
While this gal may be great, I would let this one go.
ETA/if surgery is completed, then that is a different thing. No longer trans=woman=eligible for NPC sorority membership. I have a friend who has been trans for 25 years but can't have the final surgery because of her job (she's a kind of famous drag queen). There are sacrifices she makes in order to keep her very lucrative job.
